Ingredients
 

Beer Braised Ribs

  • 1400 grams St. Louis Pork Ribs
  • 66 ml Westmalle Double
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • ½ tbsp black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 slice of white bread
  • 1½ tbsp coarse mustard

Homemade Fries

Instructions
 

  • Fire up your grill with a decent amount of charcoal and 3 fire starters.

Dutch Oven

  • Take the membrane of the ribs on the back side with a papertowel or a knife.
  • Cut off any floppy bits.
  • Grab your cast iron dutch oven and roll your ribs inside the pan so it fits perfectly. Do not season them.
  • Fill your pan with around 2 beers. I'm using Westmalle which is a double beer but you are free to use any kind of beer that you like. It's part of the fun.
  • If your ribs are not covered up make sure to add more beer.
  • Add a pinch of salt, ome black pepper and a couple of bay leaves.
  • Set the grill grates on a medium position straight over the fire and put the dutch oven in the center.
  • Open the bottom and top vent to get a maximum air flow and close the dome.
  • Over a coarse of around 2 hours the beer is reduced to a minimum and your ribs should be cooked till atleast 92 degrees celsius which is around 200 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Take the ribs out and let them rest.

Beer Gravy

  • Now you have still some beer left inside your dutch oven so take a thick slice of white bread.
  • Spread some wholegrain mustard on top and put it inside the dutch oven.
  • The bread and mustard will be absorbed by the beer and it will become thicker like a gravy.

Grilled Ribs

  • Now that the ribs are rested you can season them with around a teaspoon of salt and pepper and start grilling them next to the dutch oven on the BBQ.
  • This is mainly to cause texture because you already reached that perfect core temperature.

Homemade Fries

  • Slice around 400 grams of potatoes into thick fries.
  • Put them in lukewarm water for 30 minutes.
  • Seieve them and let the fries air dry for 1 hour.
  • Fry them in sunflower oil at a temperature of 160 degrees celcius until they are cooked ( This is only the first fry to cook them so you don't want to see browning yet).
  • Rest them for 1 hour again and fry them at a temperature of 180 degrees celsius to get that perfect golden brown crunch.

Serving

  • Grab a big cuttingboard and put all of your fries on first.
  • Season with some salt or in my case my PitmasterX’s BBQ Booster Rub

  • Put half of the beer gravy on top of the fries.
  • Add the ribs on top and add the rest of the beer rgavy on top of the ribs and ENJOY!
