Fall-off-the-bone Baby Back Ribs in Oven
These fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are cooked slowly in the oven over a bed of garlic and onions, then finished on the grill with a rich homemade barbecue sauce. The ribs are marinated in soy sauce and beer, which tenderizes the meat and adds depth of flavor. The result is tender ribs with a sticky, flavorful glaze that balances sweetness, spice, and savory notes.

TO MAKE BARBECUE SAUCE
- Skim some of the fat from the sauce that is left on the roasting pan from baking the ribs, leaving about 2 tablespoons of fat.
- Pour the rest of the sauce through a sieve into a bowl. Press the solids through the sieve until completely mashed. Scrape the bottom of the sieve to take the remaining mashed onion and garlic and add this to the sauce.
- Add brown sugar, ground pepper, paprika powder, and hot chili powder. Transfer sauce to a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and pour into the sauce, cook while constantly stirring until it thickens. Transfer sauce to a bowl or a jar.
