Country-style pork ribs: what are they?
Boneless pork ribs from the shoulder cut of pork—the same meat used for pulled pork—are baked until they fall apart in the traditional country-style. Bone-in "ribs" of this variety would reveal the same y-shaped bone found in bone-in pork butt roast and pork shoulder roast.
Consequently, country style pork ribs are cheap, typically costing around $2 per pound, much like a pork butt shoulder roast. (Much cheaper than pork ribs, lamb ribs, or beef ribs.) Plus, they are meatier than traditional pork ribs and lack the unpleasant cartilage found in traditional ribs, so you can see how country-style pork ribs offer better value.
In the same way that the fat marbling in fall-apart ribs keeps them juicy during the long, slow baking process, so does it in country style ribs. When we talk about the low and slow baking...

Ingredients for a Traditional Country-Style Baked Rib
The fact that these BBQ ribs are meaty, flavorful, cheap, and simple to make is one of their many appealing qualities.
- Four kilograms of ribs cooked in a country-style fashion
- Dry Rub
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups of your preferred barbecue sauce
- Turn on the oven to 300 degrees.
- Foil can make cleanup after baking a breeze.
- Make a dry rub, or decide on one, and get started.
- Use a lot of the dry rub on the ribs.
Tools
A roasting pan, some aluminum foil, and a basting brush are all you need to get started.
Make a small bowl of your go-to dry rub, or experiment with your own:
- a pinch of chili powder
- Dark brown sugar, about 1 tablespoon's worth
- Smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- Powdered garlic, 1 teaspoon
- A pinch of dried onion flakes
- Your preferred salt, one teaspoon
- One-half teaspoon of dried, crushed red pepper
- a single peppercorn
5 - Season the ribs, then spread them out in a single layer on a baking dish lined with foil. (Use a baking dish instead of a tray, because you need a high rim for juices that the meat will release as it bakes Make sure your baking sheet has high sides to catch any drippings.
- 6- Wrap the ribs in foil and bake them at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Timer should be set for 2 hours of cooking. (While your oven cooks, you have a couple hours to do something else, like read a book, watch TV, work out, or just chill out.

- 9 - Cook uncovered for an additional hour
- 10 - Broil for 2 minutes to caramelize the barbecue sauce and let it bubble. WATCH THEM LIKE a HAWK TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T BURN
- Add a little more sauce and proceed to step 11.
- Rest the ribs for 5-10 minutes, then dig in!
Serving Suggestions for Baked Country-Style Ribs
Complement this hearty main dish with equally hearty accompaniments. Some of my favorite accompaniments for country-style ribs are: loaded potato salad, mashed potatoes with country gravy, baked beans, pasta salad, fruit salad, corn on the cob, and thick slices of homemade bread spread with garlic butter, garlic, and salt. The homemade chocolate cake and refreshing lemonade round out a memorable meal.

Notes on a Recipe for Oven-Baked Country-Style Ribs

- Preparing these for a sizable group A good rule of thumb is to make 2 (two) ribs for each person That's a lot, but I prefer having leftovers to not having enough. Two trays at a time is the way to go if you're making a lot of country-style ribs. To ensure uniform cooking on both sheets, increase the initial baking time to 2 hours and 15 minutes before switching their positions (one on top of the other) at the halfway point of both baking times.
- When removing ribs from the oven for the first time, take extreme caution. Large amounts of boiling water or other liquid could splash out of the pan and burn you. In addition, the steam is very intense when you open the foil.
- A brush is needed to spread BBQ sauce. Silicone basting brushes are my favorite because they perform superbly, last a very long time, and can be safely cleaned in the dishwasher.
- The slow cooker is an excellent tool for preparing this dish. After the first 2 hours, remove any excess liquid and cover the meat with your favorite BBQ sauce. Return to the slow cooker and cook for another 2 hours. These are perfect for the slow cooker or crock pot.
Uses for the Remainder
Save leftovers for up to a week by storing them in the fridge in an airtight container. Sandwiches made with leftover country-style ribs are fantastic the next day. You can make a delicious lunch by placing them between two pieces of bread or on a roll and topping them with mustard, lettuce, or sauerkraut.
You can keep food for up to three months in the freezer if you store it properly. Simply defrost in the refrigerator, brush with barbecue sauce to prevent drying out, and bake at 275 degrees for 20 minutes to serve.

Are Pork Ribs Baked in a Country-Style Oven Too Tough?
Toughness is a common problem with poorly cooked country-style ribs. They will become tough if grilled. But if you follow this recipe and cook them low and slow, they'll be so tender they'll fall off the bone (or knife).
You may have found your new favorite way to prepare pork with these inexpensive, simple, and delicious ribs, which are a great substitute for baby back ribs.
Tips
Do not butter or grease the baking dish; the fat from the "ribs" will melt during cooking and keep the meat from sticking. That fat is another reason why these are so tasty and tender.
Try to find uniformly sized country-style ribs at the supermarket.
If you want to add flavor and tenderness, try a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar.
Ten minutes after taking them out of the oven, give the ribs a chance to REST. Before serving, the meat can reabsorb its natural juices in this way.
Country-Style Ribs, Bone-In or Boneless
Ribs with or without bones can be used; for the latter, cooking time should be reduced by 30 minutes.
Warning About Food Safety From the USDA
Modern pork is safe to eat when cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, as measured with a food thermometer. Meat should be rested for at least three minutes before being carved or consumed for optimal safety and quality.
Pork, like other meats and poultry, can harbor harmful microorganisms like Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, and Listeria monocytogenes. Consumption of raw or undercooked pork or contamination of food contact surfaces (e.g., tables, cutting boards, utensils) are both potential routes of infection. Safe handling and thorough cooking eliminates the risk of contamination.
Nowadays, pork doesn't need to be cooked for more than a few minutes before it's ready to be carved or eaten (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/meat/fresh-pork-farm-table#::text=).
