Ingredients

Special Equipment
  • Foil
  • Roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet
  • Silicone basting brush optional
Country-style Ribs
  • country-style pork ribs*
  • salt and pepper
  • your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F. Salt and pepper both sides of your ribs and place in a single layer in your pan, fattier side up.
  2. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 2 hours. Carefully (steam and liquid in the tray will be hot!) remove ribs from the oven and check the meat. They should be starting to become tender. If they still feel tough, re-cover them and place them back in the oven for 15 to 30 minutes.
  3. Transfer ribs to a plate and drain liquid from the pan. Return ribs to tray and brush with a generous coating of BBQ sauce.
  4. Turn oven down to 275°F and bake ribs, uncovered, for 1 hour more, or until you can pull the meat apart with a fork (if your ribs were small and already pretty tender when you put them back in the oven, start checking after 20 minutes). Brush with another coat of BBQ sauce, rest for 5 minutes, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • *If your "ribs" are very large, 10 ounces or larger, extend the initial covered cooking time by 30 minutes. 
  • If any of your ribs have the fat cap still attached (a very thick, even layer of fat attached to one side of the meat), you can cut that off.
  • Approximate nutritional information is for 6 ounces of cooked meat and 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce.
