Quick Costela no Bafo with Grilled Sausages

Caramelized pork ribs and sausages finished in a tangy lime-beer glaze, ready in under 30 minutes. This is the weeknight shortcut to the Brazilian classic — high heat instead of a slow braise, same sticky-sweet finish.

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Working in batches, sear ribs 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and browned. Transfer to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add garlic to the skillet, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in lime juice, beer, brown sugar, worcestershire, and paprika.

  5. Step 5

    Return ribs to the skillet and nestle sausages among them. Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until sauce thickens and ribs are tender.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot with the pan sauce spooned over top.
