Country-Style Pork Ribs with BBQ Glaze

Braising the ribs low and slow, covered, before glazing and broiling is what makes them fall-apart tender — going straight to the grill leaves them tough and chewy.

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs boneless country-style pork ribs
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 cup sugar-free BBQ sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Season ribs with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. 2

    Place ribs and onion in a baking dish, pour in chicken broth, and cover tightly with foil.

  3. 3

    Braise 2-2.5 hours until the ribs are completely fork-tender — this low, slow, covered braise is what breaks down the tough connective tissue; skip straight to grilling and the ribs stay chewy.

  4. 4

    Remove from the braising liquid, brush generously with BBQ sauce.

  5. 5

    Broil 4-5 minutes, or grill over medium-high heat, until the glaze is caramelized and slightly charred at the edges.
