This boneless country style ribs dry rub is made with lots of dried herbs and flavorful spices. It adds delicious flavor to oven-baked country style pork ribs.
Dry rub ingredients:
How to apply the dry rub:
Sprinkle the rub evenly onto a plate or pie dish, then rub the ribs in it.
How to cook the ribs:
You can cook the ribs in the oven in two different ways:
- Slowly at low temperature (this method requires ribs with lots of fat and marbling) OR
- Quickly at high temperature (this method is best for leaner ribs that don't have much fat).
The flavor of the ribs will be delicious either way but you will get different textures depending on which method you use. Slow-baked ribs will be fall-apart tender while the high-temperature method will yield juicier but firmer ribs.
Low-temperature, slow-bake method:
See full ingredient amounts & instructions in the recipe card below!
Step 0. Make sure you have ribs that work for this method: If you use the low-temperature method you must use ribs that have lots of visible fat and marbling. If the ribs are too lean they will get dry with this method. (Lean ribs will stay nice and juicy with the high-temperature method, though.)
Step 1. Apply the dry rub, then set the ribs on a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Step 2. Cover the entire baking sheet with aluminum foil. Make sure to seal it really well all around the edges. Bake the ribs at 300 degrees F. for 2 ½ hours.
High-temperature, fast-cook method:
See full ingredient amounts & instructions in the recipe card below!
Step 1. Coat the inside of a cast iron pan or cast iron grill pan with a little bit of vegetable oil. Set the pan into the cold oven. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. with the pan in it.
Step 2. Once the oven is hot, set the ribs into the hot pan. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Flip the ribs half-way through the cook time.
How to serve the ribs:
These ribs are fantastic with potato salad.
