Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) and trim any excess fat cap (an even layer of thick fat) from your 1½ lbs country style pork ribs as needed.
  • Season both sides of the country style ribs with ½ teaspoon each, salt & pepper, then arrange them on a couple of sheets of aluminum foil (large enough sheets to wrap around your pork ribs and seal securely). Place the foil with the ribs into a baking dish or onto a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Create the 'pouch' around your seasoned country style ribs, pulling up the sides so it will hold in the liquid, then pour the 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar over the ribs. Seal the aluminum foil securely.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 2 hours or until your pork ribs are fork tender (small 4-ounce ribs may cook quickly, and large 10-ounce ribs may take a bit longer).
  • Remove from the oven and open the aluminum foil carefully (vent the steam away from your body!). Transfer the pork ribs to a clean sheet of aluminum foil and drain the fat from your baking dish or sheet pan, then discard the used aluminum foil.
  • Move the ribs back into your baking dish and coat all sides of the pork ribs generously with the ½ cup BBQ sauce. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven when done and allow the pork ribs to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Slather with more BBQ sauce if desired.

Notes

  • Portions are calculated at 6 ounces per person, for 8-ounce portions use 2 pounds of boneless country-style pork ribs.
  • Switch up the seasoning. If you want to add any extra spices (cayenne pepper, brown sugar, dry mustard, smoked paprika, etc.), add them at the same time you add the salt and pepper.
    If your ribs aren’t juicy with a bit of crisp to the outside, you didn’t cook it long enough. Increasing the heat in an attempt to speed things along will lead to a tougher result. Remember, when in doubt, do a taste test.
  • Use a meat thermometer or fork to test for doneness. If you’re not sure how to tell when your ribs are perfectly cooked, try pulling one apart with a fork. It should break apart easily without a knife. You can also use a meat thermometer in the thickest part.
  • Pork is safe to eat at 145℉ (63℃), however, it’s more tender anywhere between 195℉ (91℃) and 203℉ (95℃).
