Pork ribs baked in dark beer are a festive piece of Slovak pub cooking. The meat marinates overnight in beer with honey and mustard, so after long roasting it falls off the bone. In the oven it first braises under foil and then roasts hard at the end. That is how it gains a glossy caramel crust and a deep, sweet flavor. This is a dish for days when you have time and a craving for something hearty. Fresh bread or potato pancakes are traditionally served with the ribs.

Step by step process

Marinade and Ribs Preparation

1
A good marinade is the key to juicy pork ribs in beer. In a bowl, mix the dark beer, honey, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, sweet paprika and caraway. Press the garlic and slice the onion. Add them to the marinade. Cut the ribs into portions of 2 to 3 bones, salt and pepper them and place in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight in the refrigerator.

Slow Roasting

2
Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Remove the marinated ribs from the marinade and place them in a roasting pan with the onion and garlic. Pour over all the remaining marinade. Cover the pan tightly with foil so the meat braises in its own juices.
3
Roast covered for 90 minutes at 160 °C. Then remove the foil and raise the temperature to 200 °C. Roast for another 20 to 25 minutes until the ribs brown and gain a crispy caramel crust.

Finishing and Serving

4
Pour the juices from the pan into a small saucepan. Reduce over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes until it thickens into a rich beer sauce. Serve the ribs drizzled with the sauce alongside fresh bread or roasted potatoes.
