Beer - Marinated Pork Back Ribs With Side Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 lbs pork back ribs
2 bay leaves
2 medium onions, sliced
2 tablespoons peppercorns
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
3 (12 ounce) bottles beer (any brand will do)
SAUCE
1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
1 tablespoon mustard powder
1 tablespoon louisiana hot sauce (or use 1 teaspoon Tabasco, or to taste)
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon black pepper
salt

Preparation

Mix all the sauce ingredients in a large glass bowl, then let sit for a minimum of 2 hours before using it.
Cut the ribs into smaller portions.
Spread the onion slices in the bottom of a large baking dish (you might have to use two dishes for this).
Place the ribs over the onion slices, then sprinkle the herbs (if using) over the ribs.
Sprinkle with garlic, peppercorns and bay leaves.
Pour the beer over the ribs.
Cover with plastic wrap, then marinate for 5 hours.
Remove the ribs from the dish.
Place the ribs bone-side down on the grill, over medium heat.
Remove some sauce from the bowl to baste the ribs with.
Grill for about 10 minutes turning occasionally, or until browned, basting every few minutes with the sauce.
Serve the remaining sauce with the ribs.
