Infused with bold flavors and a hint of sweet citrus, Curry Orange Country Pork Ribs are the perfect blend of spice and comfort. This mouthwatering recipe features tender, slow-braised country-style pork ribs coated in a warm curry-spice rub, then simmered in a luscious sauce made from orange juice, soy sauce, honey, and aromatic spices like ginger and paprika. The ribs are seared to golden perfection before finishing in the oven, resulting in fall-off-the-bone tenderness with a caramelized glaze. Topped with fresh cilantro, these ribs pair beautifully with fluffy rice or roasted vegetables, making them an irresistible dinner centerpiece. Easy to prepare yet deeply flavorful, this dish is a must-try for pork lovers seeking a unique twist on classic comfort food.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
In a small bowl, combine curry powder, garlic powder, ground ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a spice rub.
Pat the country-style pork ribs dry with paper towels, then rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the ribs and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add orange juice, soy sauce, and honey to the skillet, stirring to combine and deglaze the bottom of the pan.
Return the seared pork ribs to the skillet, arranging them so they are partially submerged in the liquid.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake for 1.5 to 2 hours, turning the ribs halfway through, until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bone.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy these Curry Orange Country Pork Ribs with rice or roasted vegetables!
