- Cut the pork fillet into country-style ribs if they are not already cut.
- Heat a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of oil to the pot.

- Cook the onions until they become translucent and start to caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the can of beer into the pot with the onions.

- Add the BBQ sauce to the pot and stir to combine with the beer and onions.
- Return the seared pork ribs to the pot.
- Make sure the ribs are well-coated with the sauce and evenly distributed in the pot.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Transfer the pot to the preheated oven.
- Cook for 2-2½ hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Beer-braised bbq country style pork ribs with onions FAQ:
The ribs should be braised in the oven for 2 to 2½ hours at 300°F (150°C), until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
The pork ribs are done when they are tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork. Checking an internal temperature of at least 190°F (88°C) also indicates they are well-cooked.
Leftover pork ribs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them for up to 3 months.
Yes, you can substitute the beer with non-alcoholic beer, apple juice, or chicken broth for a different flavor profile.
A tangy or smoky BBQ sauce complements the flavors of the beer and pork well. Choose a sauce that suits your taste preference.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat.: Opt for country-style pork ribs with a good balance of meat and fat. This will ensure tenderness and flavor after braising.
- Sear the meat first.: Before braising, sear the pork ribs in a hot pan to lock in juices and add a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Cook low and slow.: Maintain a low simmer while braising to achieve tender, fall-apart ribs. Cooking low and slow helps break down the meat fibers effectively.
- Monitor liquid levels.: Ensure there is enough beer in the pot during cooking to keep the meat moist. Add more if necessary to prevent drying out.
- Adjust seasoning as needed.: Taste the sauce towards the end of cooking and adjust seasoning, adding more BBQ sauce, salt, or spices as desired.
- Let it rest before serving.: Allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more succulent dish.
