Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 cups Root Beer
- 1/2 cup Fish Sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced Garlic
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground Black Pepper (to taste)
- 2 cups Cold Water
- 2 racks Baby Back Ribs
Instruction
- In a medium saucepan, add root beer, fish sauce, garlic, and pepper.
- Place pan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer until the liquid has been reduced by about 1/2.
- Remove the reduction from the heat. Stir in the water.
- Allow the sauce to rest until it cools to room temperature.
- Place the ribs in a roasting pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs. Cover.
- Place pan in refrigerator to chill overnight - or for at least 4 hours.
- When ready to cook - preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard marinade. It has touched raw meat and is unsafe to use again.
- Place ribs on a baking sheet. Cover the ribs with foil.
- Place in preheated oven. Bake for 2 hours, or until the meat is tender but not falling off the bone.
- Finish ribs on the grill, by grilling directly over high heat until the outside has caramelized, about 4 minutes on each side.
- OR
- Switch oven to broil. Broil until side has caramelized. Then flip ribs and broil until other side has caramelized.
- Serve hot.
