How to Make Creamy Gravy Covered Beer Braised Country Style Pork Ribs

  1. In a small bowl or ziploc bag, mix 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon onion powder. Liberally sprinkle over 3 lbs country-style pork ribs.
  2. Let the seasoned ribs sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed, oven-proof Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Brown the ribs on all sides, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  5. Once well-browned, remove the ribs and set aside on a plate.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Remove excess rendered fat, leaving about 4 tablespoons in the Dutch oven.
  8. Add 2 large onions, sliced, to the Dutch oven and cook until slightly softened and lightly browned.
  9. Pour in 1/4 cup of beer to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  10. Return the ribs to the Dutch oven.
  11. Pour in the remaining 1 cup of beer, ensuring the ribs and onions are mostly submerged.
  12. Cover the Dutch oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  13. Remove the Dutch oven from the oven (beware of bubbling!). The onions should be very soft and caramelized.
  14. Remove the ribs and onions from the pan, setting them aside.
  15. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  16. Add 1/2 cup water to the Dutch oven to deglaze the pan. Stir in 1 packet of your favorite pork gravy mix according to package directions.
  17. Once the gravy has thickened, stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, 1 packet dry onion soup mix, and 8 ounces sliced mushrooms.
  18. Return the ribs and onions to the Dutch oven, coating them thoroughly in the gravy.
  19. Cover and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour.
  20. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.
