Country-style ribs (oven method)

Published about 2 months agoย โ€ขย 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I love BBQ. Not just in the summer when everyone's grilling outside, but year-round. There's something about that smoky, sweet, sticky sauce that I love no matter what month it is. These country-style ribs give you all that BBQ goodness without dealing with a grill in February weather.

The technique is simple: low and slow in the oven. You season them, cover them with foil, and cook them at 300ยฐF for over two hours. Then brush them with BBQ sauce, increase the heat, and finish them uncovered at a higher heat so the sauce becomes sticky and caramelized.

Here's what makes them work:

๐Ÿ– Country-style ribs are meatier than baby back or spare ribs (they're cut from the pork shoulder). That's why they are perfect for colder weather and cooking low and slow in the oven, in my opinion.

๐Ÿ– The mustard and spice rub creates a flavorful base before the BBQ sauce goes on.

๐Ÿ– Low temperature keeps everything tender, the final high heat gives you that glaze.

๐Ÿ– Mostly hands-off, just about 15 minutes of actual work. Total time is around 2 hours and 45 minutes, but the oven does most of the work while you do other things. I usually serve these with mashed potatoes and green beans, or cornbread and coleslaw.

More BBQ options:

Let's not wait until summer to enjoy the flavors of BBQ. We can totally make these at home.

Happy Cooking,

Hi Reader, Hummingbird Cake is one of those recipes I'd been curious about for a long time before I finally made it. Now it's a favorite. What I didn't know until I dug into it: this cake actually originated in Jamaica before becoming a Southern staple. I feel so connected to the recipe, and it's so delicious. It reminds me of a really flavorful banana cake with crunchy pecans throughout. Anyway. The cake. It's dense, moist, packed with banana, pineapple, and pecans, and finished with cream...
