Recipe information

  • Yield

    8 to 10 Servings

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sweet or hot smoked paprika
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
One 5-pound top of the rib
3 tablespoons olive oil
Three 12-ounce cans or bottles dark lager beer
1 garlic head, halved horizontally
1 pound small parsnips, peeled and halved length wise
1 pound peeled baby carrots with greens

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Preheat the oven to 325°F

    Step 2

    2. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, cumin, coffee, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a small bowl and stir to mix. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and rub the spice mixture all over.

    Step 3

    3. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the meat until nicely browned, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Pour the beer over the meat, cover, and transfer to the oven.

    Step 4

    4. Roast for 2 hours. Flip the meat over. Add the garlic, parsnips, and carrots. Cover and roast until the meat and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours more. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and let rest at least 15 minutes before slicing. Transfer the vegetable and garlic to a platter, reserving the pan sauce.
