Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 2 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 cup Sweet vermouth
- 1 cup Ketchup
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Season the country-style pork ribs on all sides with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear the ribs on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once the ribs are seared, transfer them to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and use the same pan to prepare the sweet vermouth glaze.
Add the sweet vermouth to the pan to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and cayenne pepper. Simmer the mixture for another 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the seared ribs to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly with the glaze.
Cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid or aluminum foil. Transfer it to the preheated oven and bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the glaze has thickened.
Every hour, baste the ribs with the glaze from the pan to ensure they stay moist and flavorful.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
Serve the Sweet Vermouth Country Style Ribs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
