Ingredients for Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Rice Cooker

  • Baby Back Rib Rack
  • Seasoning Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • 12 ounces beer (dark beer recommended)
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • ½ cup barbecue sauce

How to Make Beer Braised Baby Back Ribs Rice Cooker

  1. Preheat your rice cooker. Wash and pat dry approximately 3 pounds of baby back ribs.
  2. Generously season ribs with your favorite salt rub (approximately 2 tablespoons).
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable or canola) to the rice cooker pot. Turn the rice cooker to the 'Saute' or 'Brown' function.
  4. Once hot, add the ribs and brown them evenly on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Pour in 12 ounces of your favorite beer (dark beers work well), 1 cup of beef stock, and ½ cup of your favorite barbecue sauce.
  6. Close the rice cooker lid and select the 'Cook' or equivalent function for 60 minutes. If your rice cooker has a 'Keep Warm' function, use that for the last 10 minutes instead of using the steaming basket method in step 7.
  7. Alternatively: For perfectly steamed corn on the cob, place 4 ears of corn in a steamer basket on top of the ribs during the last 10 minutes of cooking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
