Directions

• In a small bowl, mix sea salt, pepper, and garlic and onion powders. Adjust seasoning as necessary, then season ribs with the mixture.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the outside of ribs.
• Place a layer of roughly chopped onions at the bottom of a slow cooker.
• In separate bowl, mix together the barbecue sauce, honey and mustard.
• Add ribs a little at a time to the bowl and make sure they are well coated in the sauce.
• Place ribs in the slow cooker on top of the bed of onions.
• Pour beer over the top once the sauced ribs are in the slow cooker, so that the sauce mixture cascades to the onions at the bottom.
• Carefully stir the ribs to combine ingredients.
• Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
• When done cooking, switch the slow cooker to warm setting.
• Before serving, skim excess fat from the sauce (you may need to remove the ribs to do this).
• When ready to eat, simply serve ribs directly from the slow cooker or transfer to a platter.
