COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS WITH BOURBON AND COKE BBQ SAUCE



Country-Style Pork Ribs with Bourbon and Coke BBQ Sauce image

Country-style ribs are not actually ribs. This cut of meat comes from the shoulder of the pig, where it is sliced in half under the blade bone and then cut into long strips to resemble ribs. As a result, much like other tough cuts of meat, country-style ribs benefit from any type of low and slow cooking. Tender, tangy, and accented with just a hint of bourbon, these ribs are a messy, saucy affair. Bone-in country-style ribs are recommended for this recipe since it's the bones that are packed with the most flavor (you can use boneless ribs, but they may require less cooking time).

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 to 5 pounds bone-in pork country-style ribs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup cola (not diet)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons American spicy ketchup-based sauce (such as Heinz brand chili sauce) or homemade chili sauce
2 tablespoons good-quality bourbon
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sorghum syrup or light molasses
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Trim any excess fat from the ribs and cut into approximately 5-inch-long pieces. Lightly season the ribs with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large sauté pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the oil, then the ribs, and brown well on all sides. (To avoid overcrowding the pan, you may have to do this in batches.)
  • While the ribs are searing, spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray. Add the ketchup, cola, tomato paste, garlic, brown sugar, chili sauce, bourbon, cider vinegar, sorghum syrup, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and cayenne. Stir well. Add the ribs to the slow cooker, layering the larger, fattier ribs on the bottom. Make sure all the ribs are covered in sauce. Cover and cook on low for at least 8 hours and up to 9 hours, until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Transfer the ribs to a platter and keep warm. Pour the leftover sauce into a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, until it is reduced and slightly thickened. Skim off any visible fat, season with salt and pepper, and serve the sauce over the ribs.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Look for pork ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid ribs that are too fatty or have a lot of bone.
  • Prepare the ribs properly: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat. Cut the ribs into individual portions, if desired.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the ribs their flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. The recipe in the article uses a combination of apple cider, bourbon, brown sugar, and spices.
  • Cook the ribs low and slow: The best way to cook pork ribs is low and slow. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of apple juice and bourbon will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Apple bourbon country-style pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time. Serve the ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw. Enjoy!
