Country style pork ribs are a summer staple, but great any time of the year. They are BBQ-perfect, served with a side of Homemade Potato Salad and Grilled Corn on the Cob!
What Are “Country Style” Ribs?
Country style pork ribs are actually not ribs at all. Instead, they are made by cutting a pork shoulder blade into “rib” size pieces. Purchase them boneless or bone-in, and each piece has more meat than traditional ribs. With our simple recipe, you will love instantly fall in love with this dinner recipe. Why we love them:
Easy. This country style ribs recipe is easy to prep, the hard part is waiting while you cook it two ways! Flavorful. A great pork shoulder should have a lot of fat marbling throughout the meat, keeping it moist and tender when cooked. All year long. Country style ribs are perfect for a BBQ in the summer, but because they are made in the oven, they are easily served year-round!
I love pairing this main dish with a Twice Baked Potato or Jalapeno Cornbread and Green Beans with Bacon. A little southern, a little southwestern!
