Ribs

6 pounds ribs (I used beef short ribs but you can also use pork baby back)
Salt, pepper and garlic to taste
Barbecue sauce
2 beers

Cut the ribs into small portions.  Boil water and add the salt, pepper and garlic to taste.  Boil the ribs in the water for 30 minutes to get rid of some of the fat.  This is especially good for them so you don't get a huge and heavy layer of fat after you cook them in the crock pot.

After they have been boiled place the ribs in a crock pot (slow cooker) with the beer and the barbecue sauce.  This should cover at least half of the ribs.  Cover and cook for 4-6 hours, and if needed add more beer.  You don't want the ribs to sit too long in the sauce so you don't want to cover them otherwise the meat falls off and you have bones floating on the top.  Of course when the meat is falling off that also means the ribs are done.  You can slow cook them for as long as you want since they are actually cooked after the boiling process.  It really depends on your own tastes.  The beer I used was a pale ale and the ribs were lightly seasoned.
