Cooking time: 2 hours
Total: 14 hours and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients

- For the marinade:
- 1.5 kg beef ribs
- 200 g smoked bacon
- 1 red Irish beer
- 1 orange
- 1 red onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 4 fresh bay leaves
- Chili peppers (red, green, yellow) for garnish
- Pickled mini onions for serving
- Salt

- For the sauce:
- 4 tablespoons Teriyaki sauce
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 4 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 teaspoon wasabi paste
- 1 teaspoon chopped garlic
- Salt to taste

Step-by-step instructions

1. Preparing the meat:
- Cut the beef ribs into portions and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle salt over the meat, ensuring that each piece is well covered.

2. Preparing the vegetables:
- Peel the onion and garlic. Slice the onion into thin rings and the garlic into small pieces. Also, slice the orange into rounds, leaving the skin on for added flavor.

3. Marinating:
- Distribute the onion, garlic, and orange slices over the ribs in the bowl.
- Heat the red beer (without boiling) and pour it over the meat and vegetables. Use plastic wrap or a lid to cover the bowl. Let it marinate in the refrigerator until the next day, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat well.

4. Preparing the sauce:
- The next day, prepare the sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients (Teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce, canola oil, smoked paprika, ginger powder, wasabi paste, chopped garlic, and salt) in a small bowl. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.

5. Cooking the meat:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Remove the ribs from the marinade and transfer them to a baking dish. If you find the ribs too dry, add a few slices of smoked bacon on top of the meat for added moisture and flavor.
- You can keep the onion and garlic from the marinade in the dish, as these ingredients will contribute to the final flavor of the dish.
- Squeeze the orange juice over the meat and evenly distribute the prepared sauce over the ribs.

6. Baking:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil to steam the meat, allowing it to cook this way for about 1 hour. Then, remove the foil and let the ribs brown for another 30-45 minutes until golden and crispy.

7. Serving:
- Finally, garnish the ribs with colorful slices of chili peppers and pickled mini onions. An ideal side dish would be baked potatoes and a fresh green cabbage salad.

Helpful tips

- Choosing the meat: Opt for high-quality beef ribs, preferably from a local supplier. Buying meat from local farms can add a unique taste and texture to the dish.

- The beer: Red Irish beer is ideal for marinating due to its mild bitterness and rich flavors. You can also experiment with other types of beer, but make sure to choose one with a robust flavor.

- Variations: If you're a fan of spices, you can also add other spices to the marinade, such as chili or even a splash of honey for a sweet and sour taste.

- Grilling: The final part of the preparation can also be done on a well-heated grill – this will add a smoky note to the ribs, turning them into a true summer delight.
