🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 4 pounds Country-style pork ribs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt

• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to make the spice rub.

3. Rub the country-style pork ribs with olive oil, then coat them generously with the spice rub on all sides.

4. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

5. Once all the ribs are seared, reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add fresh lime juice, honey, and chicken broth, stirring to combine and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

6. Nestle the ribs back into the skillet or Dutch oven, ensuring they are partially submerged in the liquid. Cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil.

7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.

8. Remove the ribs from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

9. Serve hot with warm tortillas, fresh salsa, and your favorite side dishes like refried beans, rice, or a crisp salad.
