Instructions
-
Select the Ribs: Begin by choosing country-style pork ribs that are meaty, ensuring that they have a good amount of meat with minimal bone. This choice will lead to a more satisfying eating experience.
-
-
Wash and Prepare: Rinse the ribs under cold water to remove any residual blood or bone fragments. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure that the seasoning adheres well.
-
Season the Ribs: Sprinkle salt and pepper generously over the meat. If you prefer a hint of citrus flavor, feel free to use lemon pepper seasoning as I did tonight. This seasoning will enhance the flavor of the ribs while allowing their natural taste to shine through.
-
Prepare the Grill: Preheat your gas grill to a low heat setting. This low and slow method of cooking will ensure that the ribs become tender and flavorful.
-
Grilling the Ribs: Place the seasoned ribs on the grill. Cook them for about an hour, turning them over several times to ensure they cook evenly. This process will help to achieve a beautifully browned exterior while maintaining juicy meat.
-
Check for Doneness: After an hour, check the ribs for doneness. They should be tender and cooked through. You can use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This resting time allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more flavorful meat. Serve your Country Style Pork Ribs as they are or with your favorite sides.
With this recipe, you can enjoy a deliciously simple yet satisfying meal that highlights the rich flavors of pork, proving that sometimes less really is more. Enjoy your cooking and the delightful flavors that will fill your home as these ribs grill to perfection!
