Time 2h

Yield 3-4 ribs (lbs)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried chipotle powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 ounces dark beer
14 -18 ounces prepared hickory barbecue sauce
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons golden brown sugar
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon finely ground dark roast coffee (or espresso)

Steps:

For the rub:.
Whisk rub ingredients together in small bowl.
Rub spice mixture all over ribs.
Gently boil beer in medium saucepan until reduced to about 1 cup.
Place ribs in roasting pan or thick foil for grill. Pour beer around ribs. Cover ribs with foil and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400F or preheat gas grill to approximately 350-400°F
Once heated, roast ribs for about 1.5 hours. If using outdoor gas grill try adding some alder or cherry wood chips (if not for anything other than a neighbor jealousy-inducing aroma).
For the BBQ sauce:.
Combine ingredients in medium saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Brush ribs with sauce. Grill ribs over medium heat, about 5 minutes per side. Save some sauce for slathering and dipping.
Serve with polenta.
