Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Snap stems off chilies, then roll chilies between fingers to loosen seeds. Break chilies in half and shake out seeds. Discard seeds.
Heat a lidded 8-quart casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and chilies to pan, and cook, stirring, until chilies are noticeably darker and aromatic, 15-20 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chilies to a large bowl, leaving oil in pan.
Generously season ribs all over with salt and pepper. Place ribs in casserole with reserved oil and cook, turning frequently, until deep golden-brown on all sides, 10-15 minutes total. Transfer to bowl with chilies.
Add onions to casserole and cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 8 minutes. Add mushrooms, garlic and thyme, and cook until mushrooms begin to soften, 4 minutes more. Add beer, broth, tomatoes, soaked beans, 2 teaspoons salt and ¾ teaspoon pepper to casserole along with ribs, chilies and accumulated juices.
