For a deeper flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the spice rub. If you prefer a sweeter glaze, add an extra tablespoon of honey to the sauce during the simmering process. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the ribs. Check for tenderness by inserting a fork between the bones; the meat should be very soft. Serve with your favorite sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, or grilled corn on the cob.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare: Gather all ingredients, ensuring they are measured and ready for use. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Spice Rub: In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, fajita seasoning, and Hungarian sweet paprika. (3 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Season Ribs: Generously rub both sides of the pork spareribs with the brown sugar mixture, ensuring even coverage. (7 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Marinate: Place the seasoned spareribs in a 9x13-inch baking pan, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. (8 hours)
05 Step
Recipe View Preheat & Prepare Braising Liquid: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer, minced garlic, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and brown mustard until well combined. Set aside. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Foil Prep: Tear off two large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil (approximately 18 inches long each) and lay them on a flat surface, shiny-side down.
07 Step
Recipe View Assemble Packets: Place one rack of spare ribs on each sheet of foil, meaty-side up. Tear off two more sheets of foil and place them on top of the spare ribs, shiny-side up.
08 Step
Recipe View Seal Packets: Begin tightly folding the edges of the foil together to create a sealed packet, ensuring minimal air leakage. (10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Add Braising Liquid: Just before completely sealing each packet, carefully divide the beer mixture evenly into each packet, pouring it over the ribs. (3 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Final Seal: Complete the seal on both packets, ensuring they are tightly closed to trap the steam and flavor during baking.
11 Step
Recipe View Bake: Place the foil packets side-by-side on an 11x14-inch baking sheet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the ribs are incredibly tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone. (210-240 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View Reduce Sauce: Carefully open each packet (be cautious of the escaping steam) and drain the flavorful drippings into a saucepan. You may only need the drippings from one packet, depending on the amount of liquid. Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet and set aside.
13 Step
Recipe View Simmer & Thicken: Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer the drippings until the sauce begins to thicken, reducing to a desirable consistency, approximately 5-7 minutes. (5-7 minutes)
14 Step
Recipe View Glaze Ribs: Brush the thickened sauce generously over the ribs, coating them evenly.
15 Step
Recipe View Broil: Preheat the broiler and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Return the ribs to the oven and broil until the sauce is lightly caramelized and the ribs are beautifully glazed, approximately 5-7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (5-7 minutes)
16 Step
Recipe View Rest & Serve: Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy the tender, flavorful perfection!
