Categories     main-dish

Time 11h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cup molasses
10 whole cloves
4 cinnamon sticks
3 star anise
2 racks St. Louis-style pork ribs, trimmed
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 sweet onion, such as Vidalia, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons smoked Spanish paprika
2 cups good-quality root beer
2 cups ketchup
Scant 1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for brushing

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Combine 12 cups water, the salt, molasses, cloves, cinnamon sticks and star anise in a large saucepan, bring to a boil and cook until the salt is dissolved. Remove and let cool.
  • Put the ribs in a plastic container, pour the cooled brine over, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours, turning the ribs several times.
  • Remove the ribs from the brine, rinse, pat dry and put on baking racks set over baking sheets. Refrigerate for several hours until the surface dries and forms a film.
  • For the root beer BBQ sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the onions and cook until soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the paprika and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the root beer and cook until reduced by half. Add the ketchup, brown sugar and molasses and cook over low heat until the flavors meld and the sauce reduces, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Add the lemon juice and zest and season with salt and pepper.
  • If using the kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker: Remove the grill grate and ceramic plate from the cooker. Add the hot hardwood charcoal and scatter the soaked hickory chips over the top. Adjust the cooker to maintain a temperature of 225 to 250 degrees F. This temperature should be maintained throughout the entire smoke. Put on the ceramic plate. Put a disposable pan with some steaming liquid on the plate, and then put on the grill grate. Brush the ribs with some canola oil. Put the ribs on the grill, cover and cook until the ribs are tender and juicy, about 2 hours. Brush with the root beer BBQ sauce, turning occasionally, during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  • If using charcoal, set up the grill for direct and indirect heat. Brush the ribs with some canola oil. Start the ribs as above over indirect heat. Finish the ribs by moving them back over the hot coals and turning and basting with the root beer BBQ sauce for 15 to 20 minutes.

PERFECT ROOT BEER BBQ SAUCE



Perfect Root Beer BBQ Sauce image

BBQ Sauce from USA Sunday paper by Guy Fieri. Used on Country Style ribs that I used his "Guy's Righteous Ribs" recipe. I actually cooked the ribs after putting the rub on them in the crock pot and drained the liquid off and applied the BBQ sauce and let cook on low an additional 30 min. So good. Prep and cooking time does not include cool down of root beer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right root beer. Not all root beers are created equal. Experiment to find one that you enjoy the taste of, as it will be the primary flavor in your sauce.
  • Use a variety of spices. The spices in your BBQ sauce will help to give it depth of flavor. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can simmer the sauce for a shorter period of time, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Taste the sauce as you go. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more sweetness, spiciness, or smokiness.
  • Use the sauce on your favorite grilled or roasted foods. Root beer BBQ sauce is great on chicken, pork, beef, and vegetables.
  • Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Root beer BBQ sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of foods. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're firing up the grill, give root beer BBQ sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
