  • 2 teaspoons powdered garlic
  • 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes
  • 1and 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 10 country style pork ribs

Instructions

  1. 1. In a small bowl mix together all seasoning. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over the country ribs. Flip to coat each side.
  2. 2. Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Add the ribs to the pan allowing them to sear. You may need to sear the ribs in batches. Flip to sear each side. The ribs should be a golden to dark brown, even small black patches are ok. Transfer cooked ribs to ann oven safe baking dish.
  3. 3. Add a splash of chicken broth to the skillet to deglaze. Pour the liquid from the skillet into the baking pan. Add the the cup of chicken broth to the baking dish. The liquid in the pan should cover the ribs about half way. Add additional broth or water if needed.
  4. 4. Using tin foil seal the baking dish very tightly. Place in the baking dish in the oven. Cook the ribs at 350* for 4-8 hours.
  5. If intending to cook the ribs for the full 8 hours: At the four hour mark check the pan and see if additional liquid is needed to keep the ribs halfway submerged in liquid. Add more broth if needed. However, by the end of the cooking time the amount of liquid left in the pan should be significantly reduced.
  6. 6. Serve hot, drizzled with the au jus from the pan.

Notes

  • Four hours cook time will yield a fairly tender rib, however additional cook time up to 8 hours will tenderize the meat even more.
