Ingredients

  • Rack of St Louis style pork ribs
  • Honey Mustard IPA Rub
  • 2 lbs new potatoes
  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp pepper
  • 4 tbsp beef tallow
  • Scallions
  • Fried Onions

Beer Cheese

  • ¼ cup AP Flour
  • ¼ cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 Cup Guinness Beer
  • Honey Mustard IPA Rub
  • 2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Ribs:

  • Pre hear smoker to 275 Degrees.
  • Prep ribs by removing the membrane on the back of the ribs. Arrange ribs in a crown shape and truss with butchers twine. Season generously with OTFC Honey Mustard IPA Rub.
  • Place ribs on the smoker, indirect heat, with a water pan. These ribs aren’t going to be wrapped, so the water pan will keep them from getting dried out.
  • Smoke for 3-4 hours, until probe tender. Remove from heat and let rest.

Potatoes:

  • While ribs are cooking. Place Potatoes, tallow, salt, and pepper in a cast iron pan. Roast potatoes on the smoker until tender. This should take about 1.5 hours. It’s easy to test tenderness with a toothpick.

Beer Cheese:

  • After ribs are off the smoker heat a 10” cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in pan and whisk in the flour. Cook the roux until a medium brown color is achieved, 3-5 min.
  • Lower heat and slowly whisk in the milk and beer. Cook until the mixture slightly thickens and is smooth, whisking occasionally. Another 3-5 min.
  • Remove pan from the heat and slowly add in the cheese, stirring continuously. If the pan is too hot or the cheese is added too fast, the sauce may break.
  • Sauce can be kept warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally.

Assembly:

  • Place Rib crown on a serving platter. Fill center with roasted potatoes and cover with beer cheese. Top with sliced scallions and crispy fried onions.
