Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 23 pounds boneless country style ribs, well-marbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Dry Rub

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or hot sauce for heat

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ribs: Pat your boneless country style ribs dry with paper towels to help the seasoning adhere better and promote a rich crust during cooking.
  2. Mix the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir thoroughly to evenly distribute all spices for consistent flavor.
  3. Season the Ribs: Lightly coat the ribs with olive oil, then rub the spice mixture all over the meat, ensuring every inch is covered for maximum taste.
  4. Cooking Method Choice: Choose your preferred cooking method: bake the ribs at 300°F (150°C) for about 2 hours; grill them over medium heat until tender; or slow cook for 4-5 hours on low. Each method yields juicy, tender ribs with a slightly different texture and crust.
  5. Rest and Serve: After cooking, let the ribs rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing or serving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring moist and flavorful bites.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to aim for an internal temperature of around 190°F (88°C) for fall-apart tenderness.
  • Don’t skip resting the ribs to maintain their juiciness and avoid dryness upon slicing.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities and spice levels according to your personal taste preferences.
  • For deeper flavor, apply the rub and refrigerate the ribs covered overnight before cooking.
  • When baking, cover ribs with foil to lock in moisture, removing it during the last 15 minutes for a slight crust.
