Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 pounds Country Style Beef Ribs
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Cooking Liquids and Flavor Enhancers

  • 1 cup Beef Broth or Stock
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Chili Flakes
  • Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs
  • Optional: BBQ Sauce for glaze

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ribs: Pat the ribs dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps in achieving a perfect sear. Mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Rub this dry seasoning blend generously all over the ribs, ensuring even coverage on every surface.
  2. Sear the Ribs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the ribs in batches, avoiding overcrowding to ensure proper searing. Sear each side for 3-4 minutes until a deep golden crust forms, locking in juices and building flavor.
  3. Add Cooking Liquids and Aromatics: Place all seared ribs into an oven-safe pan or slow cooker. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce evenly over the ribs. Add optional chili flakes or fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme if desired. This mixture will keep the ribs moist and tender as they cook.
  4. Slow Cook or Braise: For oven method, cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil and cook at 300°F (150°C) for 2.5 to 3 hours until ribs are tender. For slow cooker, set on low and cook for 6 to 8 hours for a hands-off tenderizing process.
  5. Optional Finishing Touch: To caramelize and add extra flavor, remove the lid or foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Brush on BBQ sauce during this time if you prefer a smoky glaze.

Notes

  • Pat ribs completely dry before seasoning for the best sear and crust.
  • Use generous amounts of the dry rub to infuse deep flavor throughout the meat.
  • Cook ribs low and slow to break down tough connective tissues and achieve fall-apart tenderness.
  • Let ribs rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to redistribute juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that ribs reach about 190°F internal temperature for perfect tenderness.
  • Save the pan juices after cooking to use as a sauce or gravy base for added richness.
