These BBQ Braised Country Style Spareribs are made in the oven, so you are able to fill your BBQ craving anytime of the year. The Spareribs are seasoned very simply with seasoned salt and pepper because the sauce will fully flavor the ribs during the braise. Each piece is seared on all sides and removed from the pan (remember depending on how many you are cooking you will have to do them in batches, if not they will steam and not brown). Now let's make the BBQ that the ribs will braise in... it all starts off with bacon (that right pork on pork). The bacon is cooked until slightly crisp before added in slices of onions and garlic, which continues to cook until translucent and caramelized. The pot is deglazed with an amber beer, then your favorite BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's) and hot sauce (Franks) are added and brought to a simmer. Now nestle in the seared ribs, coating each piece in the sauce, cover and bake low and slow for a couple hours. Right before they come out of the oven I like to put them under the broiler to crisp them up a bit. They come out with a slight crispy exterior but are still fall off the bone tender and super moist. Add your favorite side dish (buttered noodles in my case) and dig in. You will not be able to resist going for seconds!! Enjoy BBQ indoors tonight!!
