Pork ribs barbecue is a classic of European cuisine that has won the hearts of gourmets worldwide. This recipe combines the rich aroma of smoking, the sweet-spicy taste of barbecue sauce, and the tender texture of meat infused with beer steam. Baked at low temperatures, the ribs become incredibly soft and then acquire a crispy caramelized crust when grilled over hot coals. Historically, this cooking method comes from the traditions of slow-roasting meat, allowing its natural flavor to unfold and retain juiciness. Serving such ribs is a true ritual: they are eaten by hand, savoring every bite while the sauce adds a piquant depth to the dish. An ideal dish for friendly gatherings and family dinners where flavor unites and creates an atmosphere of warmth and coziness.
1
A grid similar to a barbecue grill needs to be selected for a deep (with high edges) rectangular baking dish. It should fit freely into the dish. The grid should be placed approximately in the middle of the height of the dish, not touching the bottom, and there should be enough space above the edge to lay the ribs. The edges of the grid can be bent perpendicularly to stand on the resulting legs, or suitable items can be placed under it.
2
Wash the rib strips with clean water, salt, and pepper.

3
Pour beer at the bottom of the mold. Place the rib strips on the rack. The beer should not touch the rack and ribs. Cover the mold with 2-3 layers of foil and tightly press the edges with your hands so that steam does not escape from the mold.

4
Place the ribs and beer in the oven at a low temperature (100–110 degrees) for three hours.

After that, remove the mold and let the ribs cool for 30-40 minutes on the rack. If you take them off immediately, the ribs will fall apart in your hands.

While the ribs cool down, light the fire in the barbecue and prepare the coals like for shashlik.
