Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat the country-style ribs dry with paper towels and season them evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until they develop a golden-brown crust. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the seared ribs to the slow cooker, arranging them in an even layer.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs in the slow cooker, ensuring all the ribs are coated.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Once done, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
Optional: For a thicker sauce, pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Serve the ribs hot, drizzled with additional sauce if desired. Enjoy with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
