- Bake: Place the ribs into the baking dish. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake them in the oven for 2 to 2 ½ hours until very tender. Remove the foil but be careful: the steam is hot!
- Broil: Preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer the ribs to the baking dish using a slotted spoon. Brush the ribs with pan juices or BBQ sauce. Broil for 3-4 minutes until the ribs are browned to your liking. Always keep an eye on them to prevent them from burning.½ cup BBQ sauce
- Serve: Baste them again with pan juices or BBQ sauce and serve immediately.

Notes
- I recommend using a slotted spoon for transferring the ribs to the baking sheet instead of tongs. The meat is very tender and might fall apart if you try to move it using tongs.
- Boneless or bone-in country-style pork ribs, about 8 ribs. You can make as many as you can fit into the baking dish in a single layer.
- Rub: This is my favorite spice rub for ribs. However, you can rub the ribs with just salt and pepper or any other spice mixture you like.
- BBQ sauce or pan juices: You can baste the pork ribs with BBQ sauce OR pan juices before and after broiling them. Both versions are delicious.
