Cut the ribs into 2- or 3-bone pieces. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; season it with a pinch each of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Add the ribs and boil for 20 minutes. Drain, then let them rest for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Lightly coat the ribs with barbecue sauce. Grill on the preheated grate until they have a nice grilled appearance, 5 to 10 minutes per side. Move the ribs to a slow cooker.

Pour the remaining barbecue sauce and 1 bottle of beer over the ribs; it should cover at least half of them. Cover the slow cooker. Cook on High until the meat is falling off the bone, about 3 hours, checking every hour or so; add more beer if needed to thin the sauce, stirring to keep the ribs on top in the sauce.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
