Stout-glazed Ribs

Gord had made Stout-Glazed Ribs in July 2010 and the post about them spent most of this past summer as one of my top ten most popular posts.

He made them tonight for supper. Whoohoo!

He had them marinading since this morning.

Here are Gord and the ribs at the BBQ.

Gord is in action, brushing the sauce on (you have to do this quite often).

Ta-da! They are ready.

I made mashed potatoes to go along with them.

They were delicious! Like the last time, no one ingredient overpowered.

Here's the recipe:

2 pounds pork loin back ribs
1 12-ounce bottle stout
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup honey mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon caraway seed
Salt and pepper
Fresh sage leaves (optional)
Grilled sweet onion wedges (optional)

Directions

1. Place ribs in a 1-gallon sealable plastic bag set in a shallow dish. For the marinade, stir together the stout, onion, honey mustard, garlic, and caraway seed. Pour the marinade over ribs. Close the bag. Marinade ribs in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Drain the ribs, reserving marinade. Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered about 15 minutes or until the marinade is reduced by about half.
3. Meanwhile, prepare grill for indirect grilling. Test for medium heat above the drip pan. Place ribs, bone side down, on the lightly oiled grill rack over the drip pan. Cover and grill for 45 to 55 minutes or until juices run clear, brushing ribs frequently with marinade during the last 10 minutes of grilling. Discard any remaining marinade. Garnish with fresh sage leaves and serve with grilled sweet onion wedges, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
