Tracey's slow-roasted Country Style Ribs

[wayless]

These are the boneless pork ribs that are usually dirt cheap, big, thick and fatty. This recipe takes hours to cook, so start early. Great for a Saturday or Sunday meal.

1 package of Country Style Pork Ribs (approx. 6 ribs, serves 2-3)
EXTRA VIRGIN Olive Oil
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Seasoning Salt (I prefer Emeril's Essence)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Line a regular, rectangular cake pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Rinse ribs thoroughly under lukewarm water. Lay into pan (fatty side down). Drizzle olive oil onto each rib. Make sure entire top of rib is generously coated by rubbing oil over surface. Season ribs heavily with garlic powder, pepper and seasoning salt. Turn ribs over.

Repeat process. Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil. Cook in 250 degree oven for five hours.

Most of the fat will have melted into the bottom of the pan. The meat will be so tender and juicy that you won't be able to lift it with a fork. Delicious!

Great plain or can be topped with your favorite Atkins-friendly BBQ sauce!

I tried this recipe today and they were WONDERFUL

Thanks so much for posting the recipe. I did them with pork ribs but also bought beef short ribs and will try them another time.

Only problem was I misjudged the start time and ended up eating dinner at 3:45 pm....hmmmmmm glad I had an early lunch......this is gonna be an interesting evening.....LOL.

I'm glad you liked them! Did you use ribs w/bones or boneless? I used the big, fat, boneless ones (one pack was less than $5). I'll have to try this w/beef ribs, too.

both the pork and beef were boneless and really cheap as you say.....it's a great recipe and since it's just me here....I'll have leftovers for days....LOL

This looks so delicious.. and easy. I'm not at all a cook but I think I'm going to give this a go ......... So, when cooking, should it be fatty side down or up?

Wonderful! I was looking for a recipe that I can use to cook ribs for my husband. I think I'm going to make this today as a suprise for him for dinner!

I'll let you know what he thinks.

Well, I just stuck a variation of these into the oven at 6:30 am and I hope they turn out great, my mouth has been watering since I read the recipe, I'll let you know.

I tried this again yesterday but with the beef boneless rib meat. While it was good with beef, the meat was not quite as flavorful as with pork and not quite as tender. But did still taste pretty good...maybe the leftovers will be more tender with re-heating.

Re: Pork Ribs

Do you think this recipe would work with country style pork shoulder strips? They are on sale this week and was wondering how to cook them. This recipe sounds like it might work.

[quincytoo]

yum I am modifying these abit....paprika, dried mustard, garlic powder, orgango, dried chilles (we like spice) rubbed onto the meat wrapped in foild and cooking for 5 hours. It is on hour 2 and SMELLS SOO GOOD> My interested in this diet was lagging but has just been perked up....

Re: Tracey's slow-roasted Country Style Ribs

May want to boil the beef ribs first for a few hours so they are tendor. Then not so long in the oven.
