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.

THE MOST TENDER COUNTRY STYLE HONEY BBQ RIBS



The Most Tender Country Style Honey BBQ Ribs image

This is a personal recipe i came to figure out on my own through trial and error, i am not a huge fan of chewy or hard ribs so i found a way to make the meat extremely tender and everyone i make these ribs for has LOVED them, i hope who ever tries my recipe enjoys them as well! I preffer to use country style ribs without the bone, that way you get more meat for your money. As far as sause i love kraft's honey barbecue sause. You can use a cookie sheet for this but i have found that a baking dish with handles works a lot better and easier with the tinfoil

Categories     Pork

Time 2h15m

Yield 1-2 rack of ribs, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lbs country-style pork ribs, thawed (without the bones)
honey barbecue sauce (your choice of sauce)
2 teaspoons minced onion flakes
2 -3 tablespoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 tablespoon garlic salt
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a dish sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic salt, seasoning salt and minced onion flakes all over, then take each slice of rib and rub both sides with the seasoning mixture. Make sure each rib is well coated.
  • 2. Line a baking dish with heavy duty foil and spray with pam, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. Place ribs inside the baking dish and inside the oven for 20minutes until meat is browned on both sides. You can flip them over halfway.
  • 4. Take ribs out and brush on honey bbq sauce on top of ribs generously and put back in oven for another 20minutes until sauce is caramelized. Once sauce is caramelized add more sauce to the top of the ribs.
  • 5. Cover the baking dish with foil well to make sure no steam can come out but try not to touch the top of the ribs. Make sure all sides are well sealed and put back into the oven.
  • 6. Turn oven down to 250 degrees so sauce won't burn and let them bake for 2-3 hours. After two hours have passed, pull back a corner of the foil and poke one of the ribs with a fork to check the tenderness of the meat, if you desire them to be even more tender put the tinfoil back over tightly and let them sit for another hour.
  • 7. After ribs are done peel back foil carefully as steam will come out, take out ribs cover with sauce again and they are ready to be served!

Provided by SuperSpike

Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 5-7 Ribs

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 tablespoons oil
3 lbs country-style pork ribs (thick bone-in ribs will turn out better because they hold together better)

3 garlic cloves, whole
1/2 sweet onion, in large chunks

1 cup barbecue sauce, with 1/4 c of cooking liquid stirred in

Steps:
