Oven Baked Beer BBQ Ribs 
Oven Baked BBQ Ribs
This short-ribs dish is a standout. It’s so simple to pull together and packs an incredible savory and slightly tangy flavor. The beer adds a unique depth to the flavor and it also helps to tenderize the meat. Keeping the beer theme in the BBQ sauce is so vogue and it complemented the ribs perfectly. I have used these ribs as both appetizers and main course – either way they are always a hit with family and friends.
Try this recipe once and I know you will add it to your repertoire because it is so simple to make and the flavors are so brilliant. I make this recipe several times a year and the leftovers taste even better. The last time I made this dish, my son was looking for the leftovers the next day. I sadly had to break the news to him that Dad and I ate it as a late night snack. Needless to say I made it again shortly thereafter. I hope you will make this amazing dish and enjoy it as much as we do. Happy Cooking!

The BBQ sauce has a tangy taste. Â If you prefer a little sweeter sauce, use 1/3 cup brown sugar.
You can also use either beef or chicken broth instead of beer.
