Ahhh! The aroma of ale baked Beef / pork ribs!

Ale Sauced Ribs and vegetables



Such a simple dish to make and it's part of my week's menu. And, it is a crockpot dish! I was looking for one pot meals. I don't know why I thought I'd find something different than crockpot recipes. They're not.
The fragrance coming from the crockpot is too good to not share with someone!
3# beef ribs
1 bottle of dark ale or stout.
Two minced garlic cloves.
1 T shredded lemon peel
1 T dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz. small red potatoes, unpeeled
1 1/2 c peeled carrots
1/4 c cold water
2 T cornstarch
fresh rosemary
Put beef in a large self sealing plastic bag set in a shallow dish. Add ale, garlic, lemon peel, rosemary, s&p. Seal bag. Turn to coat. Refridgerate 4 hours or overnight.
Place potatoes and carrots on bottom of crockpot. Add beef ribs. Pour ale mixture over all. Cover and cook on low hear setting 8-9 hours or on high 4 - 4 1/2 hours.
Remove beef and vegetables from crock. Cover;keep warm. Pour cooking juices through a fine mesh sieve set over a heat proof bowl to strain. Measure 2 cups of cooking juices, adding water to make 2 cups. Stir together 1/4 water and 2 T cornstarch in a saucepan. Add 2 cups strained juices. Cook and stir until thickned and bubbly. Serve with meat, vegetables. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
Salad recipes come later! ;)
The photo I took of the ribs could be better, I know. I'm working on it!
