Pork Ribs Dinner

This is a hearty, meal-in-one dish that my Mother always made in the winter. It is one of our family's favorites and I hope you enjoy it as well.

Ingredients

• 4  lbs  boneless pork loin country-style pork ribs, cut into serving pieces

Directions

1. On waxed paper, thoroughly coat pork ribs with flour; reserve any leftover flour.
2. In an 8-quart Dutch oven with ovensafe handles, over medium-high heat in hot salad oil, cook meat a few pieces at a time until well-browned on all sides, removing pieces to plate as they brown. Reduce heat to medium.
