CREAMY GRAVY-COVERED, BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in small bowl or Ziploc bag and then sprinkle liberally over ribs. Allow the seasoned ribs to sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Heat oil in large heavy-bottomed, oven-proof Dutch oven (love my enameled cast iron Dutch oven for this). Brown the ribs on all sides. Do NOT crowd them while browning, if it takes two batches, let it take two batches (otherwise they just steam and won't develop a nice sear).
• Once ribs have browned well, remove them to a plate.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• There should be ample rendered fat, but if there is more than about 4 tablespoons, remove the excess. Place all sliced onions in the bottom of the pan and allow them to start to take on just a bit of color.
• Pour in about 1/4 can of beer to deglaze the bottom of the pan while the onions continue to cook.
• Once the bottom of the pan is deglazed, return ribs to the pan (with any of juices on the plate). Pour in the rest of the beer. This should just barely cover all of the ribs and onions.
• Cover and bake at 375°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• When you remove the Dutch oven from the oven, be prepared for the onions to have cooked down into gooey lusciousness, and the sides of the pan to look like a disaster. Don't worry - it will taste great.
• Remove the ribs (which will be falling apart tender) and the onions from the pan.
• Turn oven down to 325°F.
• Use the water that you will be using to make the pork gravy mix with to "deglaze" the bottom on the pan, then add the mix according to the instructions on the packet. (I originally did try using canned gravy but it tasted "canned.") Once the gravy has thickened, mix in cream of mushroom soup, the dry onion soup mix and the mushrooms.
• Place ribs and onions back in the Dutch oven and stir so that the gravy is covering the ribs.
• Cover the Dutch oven again, and return to the oven heated to 325°F.
• Cook for about 1 hour.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pat the ribs dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 2
• tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the ribs
• on all sides, working in batches if needed. Remove the ribs and set aside. Add
• the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to medium.
• Add the carrots, celery, onions and some salt and pepper and cook until soft,
• about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add
• the tomato paste and cook, stirring, to remove the raw flavor, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with the vinegar, and then add the red pepper flakes and bay
• leaves.
• Add the ribs back to the pan and add enough stock to reach
• halfway up the sides of the ribs. Bring the pan to a simmer, cover and place in
• the oven. Braise until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. During the last
• half hour, uncover to allow the liquid to reduce and the pork to brown.
• Serve the ribs with Creamy Polenta, spooning the sauce on
• top, and garnishing with parsley.
• Spray the insert of a slow cooker with cooking spray (for easier clean up) and preheat on high.
• In a medium saucepan, add 1 cup of the half-and-half, the milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter and the polenta. Season with salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly to keep the mixture lump-free. Boil for 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring once or twice per hour.
• Once you are ready to serve, open the slow cooker and whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the remaining 1/3 cup half-and-half and the Parmesan. Salt and pepper conservatively since the polenta will be served with a robustly salted dish.

BEER-BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Pat the ribs dry, season with salt and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ribs in batches and cook until browned, about 8 minutes per side. Remove to a plate. Add the onions and cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika and season with salt.
• Add the beer; bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 8 minutes, scraping up the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken broth, bay leaves and thyme; when the liquid begins to simmer, return the ribs to the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook, uncovered, turning the ribs once or twice, until the meat is almost tender, about 1 hour.
• Mix the vinegar and honey in a measuring cup. Remove the pot from the oven and place on the stovetop; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the vinegar mixture and bring to a boil, then return the pot to the oven. Continue to braise, uncovered, until the ribs are tender, 15 to 20 more minutes. Return the pot to the stovetop and transfer the ribs to a plate. Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat; skim off the fat and cook until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Return the ribs to the pot and heat through. Discard the bay leaves and thyme. Photograph by Con Poulos
