Country Ribs

Submitted by *OzMan*

"This came from a newspaper, and although I prefer beef ribs to pork, this is a very tasty somewhat spicy rib recipe (if you choose it to be). I hope you enjoy. The soy sauce and ketchup have enough salt, so you may or may not want to add any salt, depending on your tastes. Great served with bisquits, spicy baked red beans and Iced Tea or cold beer! Enjoy."

This was just great! I made the sauce as written with the extra garlic and hot sauce, but I did cut down on the soy sauce since I only had regular. I think I would cut down a bit more next time (may 1/4 cup) because they were quite salty.After I browned the ribs I put them in a baking dish, covered them, and put them in a 275 degree oven. I left them for about 3 hours (2 or 2 1/2 would have been enough, I think). Then I uncovered them and coated them with some of the sauce that I had reserved. I broiled them for a few minutes. They were incredibly tender and the flavour was super! Thank you, Ozman for a delicious way to make country style ribs!

I feel bad, but felt these were just ok. I'm not sure what "mild" soy sauce is, and maybe that was the problem. I used reduced sodium soy sauce, as that's what I had on hand. The meat was tender, but a bit dry. Halfway through cooking, I tasted the sauce, and it tasted pretty bitter. I panicked and sprinkled some extra brown sugar on top of the ribs. It did help the taste. Was a very quick and easy recipe...I wish I liked the taste of the sauce better.

OzMan, This is the recipe I've been looking for! Both DH and I loved it. He likes dry rub and I like sauce. This was the perfect balance. I followed the recipe exactly (minus the cayenne), though I changed the cooking method. I wrapped them in foil and baked in the oven for an hour and a half. I then put them on the grill, basting until brown. Fantastic! I had a little sauce left (I only had 2lb of ribs) and it was great on my chicken breast the next day. Thank you for posting.

Well you've done it again. Yet another "meat" recipe that my boys went gaga over. The only thing I did different was to slow cook them in the oven all day. Seriously they just fell off the bone. I had a small bite (not really a huge rib fan) but I can say that the meat was very flavorful and tender. I did not have a single rib left.

These were so good, a definate hit at the party. I doubled the recipe and it was just fine. Very easy to put together. Thanks, OZ, for posting this recipe.
