Ingredients

Scale

2 racks pork spare ribs, fat trimmed

1 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup fajita seasoning

2 tablespoons Hungarian sweet paprika

1 cup beer

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon honey

3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon prepared brown mustard

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ribs:

  • In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and paprika. Rub both sides of the pork spareribs generously with the brown sugar mixture.
  • Place the spareribs in a 9×13-inch baking pan, cover, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

2. Preheat and Prepare the Glaze:

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, minced garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and prepared brown mustard. Set aside.

3. Wrap the Ribs:

  • Lay down two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny-side down. Place a rack of spareribs on each sheet, meaty-side up. Just before sealing the foil packets completely, divide the beer mixture evenly between the two packets.
  • Seal the foil packets tightly and place them side-by-side on an 11×14-inch baking sheet.

4. Bake:

  • Bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 3-1/2 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are very tender and the meat is pulling away from the bones.

5. Make the Glaze:

  • Carefully open each packet and drain the drippings into a saucepan (you may only need the drippings from one packet, depending on how much liquid is released). Place the ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and set aside.
  • Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer the drippings until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.

6. Broil:

  • Preheat the broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Brush the thickened sauce generously over the ribs.
  • Broil the ribs for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the sauce is lightly caramelized.

7. Serve:

  • Serve the ribs hot, with extra sauce on the side if desired.

Notes

These ribs are perfect for a weekend cookout or a family dinner. Serve with coleslaw, baked beans, or cornbread for a complete meal.
