Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Onion
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 Bay leaves
- 4 Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the country-style pork ribs on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the ribs in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the ribs and set them aside.
Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the Dutch oven and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the onions, cooking and stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the seared ribs to the Dutch oven, nestling them into the liquid.
Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
Serve the ribs with their braising liquid as a sauce, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
