Amazingly Tender Country Style Pork Ribs

I learned this method for cooking ribs when my hubby and I were early married.  It really is amazing.  It's become a favorite birthday meal with the guys!  If you are not a gluten-free person, just use regular flour instead of the "flour mixture" and corn meal.

Amazingly Tender Country Style Pork Ribs -- Gluten Free Version

Start with about 3 pounds of country style pork ribs.  I prefer the boneless kind, but whatever you can find will work.  I've even done this with pork steaks!

Season each rib with sea salt and Adobo seasoning.  Allow the meat to rest in the seasonings for a few minutes, then dredge each in a mixture of gluten free flour mixture and corn meal.  Place the "floured" ribs into a large, deep baking pan.  I use one that is about 18"x10"x3."  Once all of the ribs have been prepared, pour in enough water around the bases of the ribs to reach a depth of about 1/2."  If you like onions, at this point, top each rib with thinly sliced sweet onion.  Cover the pan well with aluminum foil and bake the ribs for 1 1/2 hours at 325F.  They can be baked up to 3 hours at 275F.  The longer they bake, the more tender they will be!

At this point, add whatever sauce you desire.  It can be a bottled barbecue sauce or one of the sauces here in my blog.

Honey Mustard Sauce
My favorite "barbecue sauce" at the moment is just a simple combination of equal parts dijon mustard and agave nectar for a "honey mustard" type effect.

Spread a thin layer of the desired sauce over the ribs and bake them an additional 30 to 45 minutes.  The sauce should set, but the ribs should not start to dry out.

The ribs are nice served alongside rice with the pan drippings served over the top of the rice.  Yum!

Enjoy :)
