Tips for Making the Best Country-Style Ribs:
- Choose the right ribs: Look for meaty spare ribs or St. Louis-style ribs.
- Trim the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and trim off any excess fat.
- Season the ribs: Rub the ribs with a mixture of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the ribs slowly: Braising or oven-baking the ribs at a low temperature for several hours will help them become fall-off-the-bone tender.
- Baste the ribs: Basting the ribs with a mixture of barbecue sauce, apple juice, and vinegar will help them stay moist and flavorful.
- Let the ribs rest: Let the ribs rest for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
