Slow Cooker Beer Ribs Rice Bowl
Ingredients
For the Ribs:
- 1 full rack of pork ribs
- 1 bottle of beer Budweiser 12oz
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoons salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons garlic powder
For the rice:
- 2 cups dry brown rice
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Cooking the Ribs:
- On the stovetop on medium heat, add ½ cup of oil to a frying pan and when the oil is hot add the ribs. Brown them on both sides, just until a golden brown color starts to appear. If you have an Instant Pot type of slow cooker, you can sauté the ribs into it.
- Add ½ cup of oil to the slow cooker, and add the ribs. Pour the beer over the ribs. In a bowl combine water, paprika, salt, pepper and garlic powder, mix a little and add the mixture to the slow cooker. Close the slow cooker and cook for 5 hours.
- Once the ribs are done, remove from the slow cooker and separate the meat from the bones. Place meat in a deep dish and add a few tablespoons of the sauce from the slow cooker to keep it warm and juicy.
For the rice:
- Rinse the rice in a rice colander under cool, running water until it runs clear, about 5 minutes. Transfer the rice to a wide pot.
- Add the water and oil, stir in the salt and cook on high until it starts to simmer.
- Set the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Cook for 45 minutes with the lid on. After 45 minutes check for doneness, if the rice hasn't achieved the desired level of doneness, continue cooking in 5 minutes increments until done.
- Take the rice of the stove, covered with the lid and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- The rice can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to one week.
