Root Beer BBQ Pork Ribs
Sounds good, and the ribs I would use are the short ribs found in any Tesco or even fresh markets but watch the cook time. I will verify this when I make them. This is a slow cooker recipe that will also need your broiler as well. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 kilos pork ribs
- 2 cans Root Beer, OR Ginger Ale aka Ginger Beer
- 2 cups BBQ sauce, OR make from a shortcut
- salt and pepper, as needed
- spring onions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- These are the ribs I get at Tesco. Look for the strips that are meaty, remove the distorted bones on the ends and save for a soup if you wish, and just go with the nice straight bones. The bones are only about 3 inches long.
- Remove silver skin from the back of the ribs if that is present. Cut the ribs into 3 bone sections, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and place in the slow cooker.
- Pour the root beer into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low setting for 5 hours, do not remove the cover.
- Check the ribs at 5 hours, if very tender, you are almost done, if not tender, continue cooking and checking each hour. Once the ribs are tender, carefully remove from the pot and set on a foil lined baking sheet.
- Brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and broil for a few minutes, charring a bit is ok, then flip the ribs over, brush more sauce, and broil for a few more minutes, again, a bit of char is ok. Remove to a serving tray, sprinkle some thinly sliced spring onion on, and serve.
Notes
Pork ribs are about 115 Baht/kilo. 1 1/2 kilo would be about 173 Baht. For 4 servings, this is about $1.27 per serving, over all good price for a quality meal, after all, who does not like ribs.
Shortcut: BBQ Sauce.
