GRANDMA'S FALL OFF THE BONE BBQ COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS



Grandma's Fall Off the Bone BBQ Country Style Pork Ribs image

My Grandma's recipe for country style pork ribs baked in the oven are literally fall-off-the-bone tender and topped with jammy sweet onions in a homemade BBQ sauce.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Main Course

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

5 pounds bone-in country style pork ribs
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 medium yellow onions (, sliced 3/8" thick)
3/4 cup ketchup
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup dry sherry wine
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves garlic (, pressed or minced)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a cooling rack. Working in batches, season the pork ribs on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper and lightly toss in flour. Transfer the ribs to the baking sheet and set aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to a large cast iron skillet or dutch oven (with a lid) over medium/medium high heat. When the oil is warm and shimmering, brown the ribs in batches, turning on all sides until golden, about 15-20 minutes per batch. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan or the ribs will steam and won't get that delicious golden crust.
  • Transfer the browned ribs back to the baking sheet and wipe any burned pieces out of the pan. Add the remaining oil, and continue browning the rest of the ribs.
  • While the ribs are cooking, mix the BBQ sauce ingredients together and preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • Add all of the ribs back to the dutch oven, snuggling them evenly together. Scatter the tops with the sliced onions. Whisk the BBQ sauce and pour evenly over the onions and ribs.
  • Cover tightly with the lid and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the onions are soft and jammy and the pork is tender. Midway through cooking, I usually open the oven and spoon the sauce over the ribs and onions.
  • Skim any excess fat from the sauce if needed (depending on how fatty the ribs are) and serve hot with au gratin or mashed potatoes with the sauce and onions spooned on top.

COUNTRY STYLE BBQ RIBS IN THE OVEN



Country Style BBQ Ribs in the Oven image

Saucy, tender, irresistible Country Style BBQ Ribs are a dinner favorite year-round.

Provided by Mary Younkin

Categories     Main Course

Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 lbs country style ribs
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 cups barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Place the ribs on a large baking sheet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
  • Bake for 2 hours. Carefully remove the pan from the oven and use caution opening the foil - there will be very hot liquids in the bottom of the pan and it will be steaming.
  • Check the ribs with a fork or set of tongs, they should be tender, and able to be pulled apart. If the ribs are still tough, tightly cover again and return the pan to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a dry baking sheet. (If you don't have a second baking sheet, transfer to a baking dish, drain the liquids from the sheet pan, and return the ribs to the same baking sheet.)
  • Coat the mostly-cooked ribs with barbecue sauce and return to the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, turn the ribs over, and brush with additional barbecue sauce. Bake an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set the oven temperature to BROIL. Turn the ribs once more, brush generously with additional barbecue sauce. Return to the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove from oven and let rest 5-10 minutes. Serve with additional barbecue sauce.

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 2h40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

3 lbs country-style pork ribs
18 ounces your favorite barbecue sauce

Steps:

  • Cut pork ribs into serving pieces, if necessary. Arrange meaty side up in ungreased 13x9 rectangular pan. Cover pan with foil and bake in 325 degree oven until tender, about 2 hours. Drain.
  • Remove foil and pour barbecue sauce over ribs. Bake uncovered, spooning sauce over ribs occasionally, until ribs are hot and glazed, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose country-style ribs that are meaty and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they are tender and flavorful.
  • Season the ribs liberally with a rub made from your favorite spices and herbs. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make them fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Baste the ribs regularly with a mixture of your favorite barbecue sauce, apple juice, or vinegar. This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make them even more tender.

Conclusion:

Country-style ribs are a delicious and versatile cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Whether you are grilling, baking, or smoking them, be sure to follow these tips to ensure that they turn out tender, flavorful, and fall-off-the-bone delicious.
