Instructions:

1. Prepping the Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Slice the onions into rings.
- Cut the pork fillet into country-style ribs if they are not already cut.
2. Searing the Pork:
- Heat a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add a small amount of oil to the pot.
- Once the oil is hot, sear the pork ribs in batches until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the pork and set aside.
3. Cooking the Onions:
- In the same pot, add the sliced onions.
- Cook the onions until they become translucent and start to caramelize, stirring occasionally, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Deglazing the Pot:
- Pour the can of beer into the pot with the onions.
- Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot to lift any browned bits. This add flavor to the dish.
5. Adding the BBQ Sauce:
- Add the BBQ sauce to the pot and stir to combine with the beer and onions.
6. Braising the Pork:
- 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.
7. Oven Cooking:
- 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.
8. Serving:
- Carefully remove the pot from the oven.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve the ribs hot with the braised onions and additional BBQ sauce if desired.

Can I substitute the beer with something else?

What type of BBQ sauce works best with this recipe?

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.
