Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless pork ribs
- 0.5 cups maple syrup
- 0.5 cups ketchup
- 0.25 cups soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Pat the boneless pork ribs dry with paper towels to ensure they brown properly.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. This step adds flavor to the ribs.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, ketchup, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until smooth.
Place the seared ribs in the slow cooker in an even layer.
Pour the maple syrup mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and fully cooked.
Once done, carefully remove the ribs using tongs as they will be very tender and prone to breaking apart. Place them on a serving platter.
Optional: If you prefer a thicker sauce, transfer the cooking liquid to a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until reduced. Spoon the sauce over the ribs before serving or serve it on the side.
Serve the Maple Slow Cooker Boneless Ribs with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables.
