stout braised ribs

These braised pork ribs are as good as it gets. They&#39;re slow-cooked in a ridiculously delicious sauce made with dark beer and chocolate that, by the time the ribs have finished cooking, becomes the best gravy you&#39;ll ever try.

Dark Chocolate and Stout Braised Ribs

racks pork side ribs

sea salt

cooking oil

onion (roughly chopped)

carrot (roughly chopped)

celery

garlic (peeled and cloves smashed with the side of your knife)

chipotles in adobo sauce

chocolate

brown sugar

fish sauce (see notes)

espresso powder

dark chocolate (about 2 generous tablespoons)

cornstarch (optional)

Sea salt and pepper (to taste)

Sear

Put the oven rack on the top shelf and preheat your oven to broil. Cut the racks into individual ribs and salt them on the meat side. Put them into a baking sheet and broil for 10-12 minutes, until they are golden. Remove them from the oven and turn the temperature down to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Saute

Heat the oil in a large braising pot on medium-high heat then add the onion. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes then add the carrot and celery. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are well-browned, about 7-8 minutes. Turn the heat down if needed. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.

Assemble

Transfer the cooked veggies to your blender and add 2 cups of water, and the chipotles in adobo sauce. Blend on high until smooth then pour back into the braising pot. Add another ½ cup of water to your blender to clean it out then add this to the pot, too.

Remove ribs

Add the beer, brown sugar, fish sauce, espresso powder, and chocolate to the pot and heat the sauce until the chocolate melts. Remove the pot from the heat.

Braise

Add the ribs to the pot, stacking them on end as best as you can. Put the lid on the pot and put it into your oven to braise for 4-5 hours.

Strain

The ribs can easily be served directly from the pot. But if you&#39;d like to thicken the sauce a little, remove the ribs from the pot, mix a little water into the cornstarch and add this to the pot. Stir the pot over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
