More often than not this dish is served by either deepfrying the marinated spare ribs, grilling or barbecueing them in your patio. I prepared mine differently. Marinated them with Oriental sauces and chose an easy way out by cooking them in a pot, fuss-free!
Needless to say, I served these Guinness spare ribs with my Guinness beer bread and they partnered each other really well, especially the sauce from the spare ribs. No, no, my family members and I did not get intoxicated with an overdose of stout but my kitchen had a lingering aroma of stout till the next day!
Recipe for Guinness Braised Spare Ribs
Ingredients
- 850 gm spare ribs cut into 4 inches length
- 2 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp light soya sauce
- 1 tsp freshly ground pepper
- 1.1/2 Tbsp jaggery or brown sugar
- 150 ml Guinness stout
- 5 cloves garlic -pressed
Method
- Marinate the spare ribs with the above ingredients except the cornflour, keep in the fridge, covered, preferably overnight.
- Pour the spare ribs into a pot, add enough water to just cover the ribs. Bring to the boil.
- Lower the heat, put the lid on and simmer till the meat is tender and cooked through.
- When you see signs of the meat pulling away from the bones, scoop up 1/2 a bowl of sauce, let cool.
- Continue simmering for a while. Add cornflour to the sauce, mix well and pour the mixture into the ribs. Give a quick stir to coat the ribs, turn off heat.
- Dish out and serve immediately.
The ribs look so delicious. I really want to try cooking this. Also a good excuse to go out to buy guinness stout :)
ReplyDeleteAfter cooking, you can't taste the stout. If you like more beer, then pour in a bit more while making the sauce.
DeleteThis is brilliant! The ribs look really tender.

DeleteYummy, this looks delicious. I am sure the stout goes very well with the ribs!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the stout does enhanced the flavour, if you like beer, that is!
Deletei cant imagine the taste but sounds like quite a rich in flavour kind of dish. So you didnt get intoxicated, did you your face go red?? ha!
ReplyDeleteRich flavour but you can't really taste the stout, only a very mild tinge of bitterness. Yes, I felt 'hot' after eating it!
DeleteHaha...Cheah, looks like you have a lot of beer at home! Love your rib dish. Looks finger licking good. Perfect to go with your beer bread.
ReplyDeleteYes, got to finish them before expiry. Wish you were here to help me with it!

My first attempt too .... cooking with stout.
DeleteDear Cheah,
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this recipe but have never tried it before. I assume they are pork ribs as opposed to beef ribs?
Yes, they're pork ribs. I suppose you can use beef ribs as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is so simply to cook and superduperlicious!!!
