Ingredients
1 bottle (12 oz/ 355 ml) of beer
2 1⁄2 cups Smokin' BBQ Sauce
1 pkg Smokin’ BBQ Sauce Mix
1 1⁄2 cups ketchup
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 cup water
1 cup soy sauce
1⁄4 cup Everything Bagel Whole Food Topper or Sesame Crunch Topper Blend, or sesame seeds
1⁄4 cup maple syrup or honey
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 - 4 racks baby back ribs, cut into small sections
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
In a frying pan, stir beer with barbecue sauce, soy sauce, topper, maple syrup, and balsamic vinegar.
Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring often.
Place ribs in a large casserole dish or roasting pan. Pour sauce overtop, then turn to coat.
Cover pan tightly with foil, then bake in oven until fork-tender, about 2 to 2 1⁄2 hours.
Remove ribs, then carefully pour sauce back into frying pan. Skim excess fat from top of sauce. Bring to a boil, then simmer, stirring often, until sauce has thickened, approximately 8 minutes. If making ahead, refrigerate meat and sauce separately.
To serve, heat barbecue to medium-high. Lightly brush ribs with oil and barbecue, turning often, until lightly charred, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Reheat sauce, then serve on the side as a dipping sauce or generously slather over ribs.
