Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 cup Water or chicken broth
Instructions
Begin by preparing your country-style pork ribs. Pat them dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs on all sides for about 1-2 minutes per side until nicely browned. This step is optional but adds a deeper flavor to the meat.
Layer the thinly sliced onion across the bottom of your crock pot to serve as a flavorful base.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and water or chicken broth until well combined.
Place the seared (or raw) ribs on top of the onion layer in the crock pot.
Pour the prepared maple glaze evenly over the ribs, ensuring that all pieces are well coated.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or until the ribs are fork-tender. Alternatively, cook on HIGH for 4-5 hours if time is limited.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter.
Optional: If you’d like a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until reduced to your desired consistency.
Serve the ribs hot, drizzled with the maple glaze. Pair with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
