Beef Spare Ribs (pics)

I needed beef ribs last weekend but my shop was out of beef backs.
They had beef spare ribs so I decided to give it a shot.
I was happy with them -- they had a lot of flavor and a good amount of meat.
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon dry mustard
I cooked them indirect at 250F for 2 hours:
Then I put them in a shallow pan with 1/2 of a beer, wrapped them in foil, and put them back on for 3 hours.
They were falling from the bone and delicious!
I threw together a barbecue sauce, but the ribs certainly didn't need it.
Sauté 1/4 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves of minced garlic in 1 Tbs butter.
Add 1/2 cup beer and bring to a simmer.
Then add 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 Tbs smoked paprika, 1 Tbs chili powder, and a dash of cayenne.
Simmer for 15 minutes until thickened.
These measurements are approximate, so make sure you taste and add whatever you think it's missing.
The ribs were so good, I had the leftovers for breakfast the next day!

I'm sure you can. I know some people cook pork ribs without wrapping. I usually cook baby backs 3-2, but I decided to do these 2-3 because I was in between football games at the 2 hour mark.Ragtop99 said:can you cook them straight through for 5 hours w/o the foil & beer?
@shtgunal3 -- it didn't go to waste

Thanks Kristy. This is one of those things that has always failed for me, the beef ribs.
Have to try again now.

Its the BOMB! Very tasty and there was nothing leftover. The spice mix was perfect. We had run out of carrots and just subed with a large red bell pepper. Came out really well.

TurtleTiger Sir you can count on any thing she posts. I have tried several of her recipes and they are always outstanding.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out. -
They look great. I will be trying them soon!
