country ribs

These Grilled Country Style Ribs are first dry rubbed with a blend of ground cumin, oregano, black pepper and other warm spices before grilling. The exterior gets crusty and the tender interior is juicy. No typical BBQ sauce on these for an alternative, but feel free. Plus, no rib bones to deal with, just seasoned meat!

Grilled Country Style Ribs

lbs country style pork ribs ((typically 4 ribs))

lemons (juiced)

tbsp honey

BBQ Sauce ((optional))

Rub the ribs with the spice blend with your hands, pressing to adhere. Cover ribs with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for minimum 1 hour, best overnight.

In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice and honey. Set aside.

Preheat grill to 225°F.

Place the ribs on clean and oiled grill with the larger, flatter side down.

Cover the grill and cook until browned and crusty about 90 minutes (brush with the lemon honey sauce every 30 minutes). Flip ribs, cover, and cook until browned and crusty on the other side, about 90 minutes more (basting every 30 minutes if using a BBQ sauce).

Thermometer should register 145°F when inserted into the thickest part of rib. Transfer to serving platter, tent  with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.

For Low and Slow Grilling

Take ribs from refrigerator, allow to come to room temperature at least 1 hour.

Preheat grill to 350-400°F.

Cover the grill, and cook until browned and crusty about 6-7 minutes. Flip ribs, cover, and cook until browned and crusty on the other side, about 6-7 minutes more.

Rotate the ribs so that they're resting on the thinner side, brush  with half the lemon honey sauce, cover, and cook until browned and crusty, about 5-6 minutes. Flip to the other thinner side, brush again with lemon honey sauce, cover, and cook until browned and crusty, another 5-6 minutes.

Gas Grill

Same as Gas Grill Instructions, but over indirect heat, meaning coals on one side and meat grilled on top on other side of grill.

Charcoal Grill

Preheat oven to 325°F.

Place ribs on a wire rack in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours. Turn ribs and baste with BBQ sauce (if using, no mop sauce needed for Baked version), continue to bake for 30 minutes uncovered.

Baked in Oven

Easy and melt-in-your-mouth pressure cooker country style ribs that only take 1 hour to cook. These ribs will become your new favorite way to make boneless or bone-in ribs.

Instant Pot Country Pork Ribs

pork

BBQ sauce + more to baste after cooking

C beef broth

Tbsp cumin

Tbsp chili powder

Tbsp garlic

Tbsp onion powder

Tbsp smoked paprika

Tbsp sea salt

Tbsp black pepper

cayenne pepper

tsp brown sugar (golden monk fruit

In a small bowl make the rub by combining the cumin, chili powder, ground garlic, ground onion powder, smoked paprika, fine sea salt, ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and sweetener. NOTE: You can swap this for store-bought rub if preferred.

Heavily season both sides of the country ribs with the pork seasoning. You&#39;ll have more than you need, save extra rub for other pork or chicken recipes.

Add the trivet to the bottom of the pressure cooker and add the broth (or other liquid) to the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Lay the ribs on the trivet, stacking the ribs if needed to get them to fit.

Pour about 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce onto the ribs and spread the sauce evenly with a rubber tip basting brush. This is optional if you prefer your ribs without barbecue sauce!

Cook at high temperature for 45 minutes on the manual/pressure cook setting (depending on your IP model). Natural release the pressure for 15 minutes. Remove the ribs carefully and baste them with more sauce if desired.

Optional - broil the ribs for 3-5 minutes to give them a grilled appearance. Enjoy!

Made these and they turned out excellent. They said the rub recipe made extra so I just thirded it and added some extra brown sugar since I didn't have stevia. Used apple juice with beef boullion since I often have a bottle on hand. Absolutely delicious ribs! I am definitely planning on making these again.

What are Country Style Ribs? The meatiest of all the pork ribs and come from the loin or sirloin of the pig. The best way to grill them is the reverse sear

What are Country Style Ribs and How Do I Grill Them?

Country style ribs

Salt

pepper (optional)

BBQ sauce (I used Stubb's Sticky Sweet)

Season the country style ribs with salt, pepper and your favorite rub

Cook them indirect on the grill which means coals on one side and the meat on the other

Target temperature inside the grill is 300 degrees

Throw some smoke wood on the coals and close the lid

Once the ribs reach about 110 degrees internal temperature, sear them over the hot side and then dunk them in a pot of sauce

Place them back on the side with no coals to get them to the full 145 degrees they need to get to according to the FDA and to caramelize and thicken that sauce

Remove from the grill and serve

Thank you Scott for a good summary of how to cook these 'ribs'.  Looked on package and they are loin rib end cut, like yours.  Had I cooked these for 4 hours like all the other internet articles said to, they would be ruined.  They were done in Weber kettle in under an hour @275°.   Those other recipes are talking about pork butt cuts, not loin cut.

Great grill instructions.  Made this twice, and family loves it.

Pork has a tendency to dry out easily, but this turned out to be one of the best, if not THE best, pork dish I've ever eaten including dining out.  Easily the best I've ever made myself.  So juicy and flavorful.  I will never be afraid to grill pork again and will go out of my way to make this.  Thanks guys.

Great instructions. We made our own rub and sauce. Your grilling instructions are tremendous. Ribs were juicy and crisp on the outside. Used cherry to smoke.

I’ve used this technique several times now, and the ribs end up wonderful every single time. Thank you!

So - how does one measure a temperature on a country style rib?  Try and stick a meat therm into something so small and not hit a bone?

Smoked Sticky Sweet Country Ribs Recipe is no doubt a Winner! Just follow the recipe to the T, and you end up with tasty perfection!

The ribs turned out excellent!  I love this recipe!  My husband and I rate this a 5!  Our favorite new recipe.

I loved this article that much more after reading the part on HFCS, kudos to pointing that out.

These ribs are so meaty and tender. The fat melts into them as they cook, then beautifully browns under the broiler.

Oven-Baked Country Style Ribs

salt

black pepper

smoked paprika

thyme

Preheat the oven to 325°F. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in an ungreased 9 X 13-inch rimmed baking dish. If they have a visible fat cap, place them fat side up.

Mix the dry rub ingredients, then sprinkle the rub over the ribs.

Cover the baking dish tightly with heavy-duty foil (or a double layer of regular foil), and bake until the ribs are very tender, for about 2 hours.

With a slotted spatula, remove the cooked ribs to a broiler-safe, foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. If needed, place them on their side to expose the fat to the broiler element. The goal is to brown the fat.

Switch the oven to broil on high (500°F) and set an oven rack 6 inches below the broiler element (not directly below). Baste the ribs with the pan juices, then broil them until the fat is browned, 3-4 minutes.

Baste the ribs one more time with the pan juices and serve.

John, I have made this recipe 4 times now with the exact cut of meat with bones you are referring to every time. they come out amazing. actually when you try to flip them to brown the fat they fall apart from the bone so you may need to finesse then into place to brown the fat lol but even if you do not get to that stage, they are still soo amazing! I hope this helps.

These ribs were delicious! I made them as written, and they turned out tender and juicy. The seasoning rub is perfect and makes them taste like they came out of a smoker all day. I reviewed this on my YouTube channel, The Real Deal Recipe Reviews, where I always try to make recipes as written and give honest reviews. These are a winner!

I made this tonight with Pork butt ribs. I used all the seasonings except the thyme and I added garlic (lots) and I put ribs in a bag and mushed the seasoning around on them evenly. I then added some onion pieces to the bottom of my dish (because I knew I was going to make gravy) and then put the ribs on and followed all the directions. 

I only had the ribs in broiler short time (my oven is new and powerful) THEY WERE D-LISH, fell apart yumminess. I served with mashed potatoes (homemade gravy from drippings) and peas and carrots. Thanks for sharing because it's hard to find recipes without bbq sauce!

Excellent recipe.  I added a splash of liquid smoke &amp; apple cider vinegar to the baking dish.  Absolutely delicious.

Great recipe!  Our oven degrees are a bit off.  I baked at '340' which was probably 325, but checked at 1:45mins and it was tender and flavorful.  Broiled for 8 minutes and then basted with just a little broth.  Plus a little bbq sauce.  I'm not much of a cook, and it was lovely.

These are delicious! So easy and I enjoyed them without any bbq sauce! Definitely making these again.

I used salt, pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and chipotle chili powder. I was trying to bring the smoke flavor. This was fantastic. My favorite part was the meat and how it was cooked. I am not a lover of pork, but this recipe was easy and allowed me to use cheap country ribs to make a delicious meal. Thank you!

I am addicted to these ribs! I've always wanted to do a dry rub. I've been using this recipe for some time now. It's what's for dinner tonight, they are in the oven. This is the best, hands down! I follow to the T. Thank you so much for sharing this.
