Ingredients

  • 3 pounds bone-in pork spare ribs split into 2 racks
  • 4 Tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 4 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 cup Guinness Glaze

Instructions

  • Make the Guinness Sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place ribs on two separate pieces of heavy aluminum foil, shiny side out.
  • Sprinkle fajita seasoning and brown sugar evenly over ribs, rubbing in.
  • Cover each rack of ribs with another piece of foil, shiny side out, folding foil on 3 sides so that it seals in the ribs.
  • Pour 1/2 cup Guinness sauce evenly over each rack.
  • Seal the other side of the foil.
  • Bake in 350-degree oven for 3 1/2 -4 hours.
  • Once tender, remove the top piece of foil.
  • Pour off juices from the foil packet.
  • Bring to boil and let simmer until reduced by half.
  • Brush on reduced juices and broil until ribs are slightly crispy.

Notes

The trickiest part of this recipe is getting that foil sealed around the ribs. If they aren't sealed properly, the ribs won't cook in all those delicious juices.
The wrap also creates moisture so the ribs don't dry out. As these delicious ribs cook for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, you want all that moisture so they are tender and juicy.
To save trouble cleaning the pan, buy a disposable pan and just toss it! I don't know why I haven't done that all along!
