How to Make 90 Minute Pork Side Ribs

  1. Place the ribs in a large pot and cover with enough water to submerge them completely.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons seasoned salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon garlic powder.
  3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is tender but not falling off the bone.
  4. Carefully remove ribs from pot and drain well. Place ribs on a large plate.
  5. Loosely cover ribs with foil and let cool for at least 30 minutes. (Refrigerate for up to 24 hours for even more convenience!)
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  7. Place ribs on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning several times and brushing generously with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  8. For an alternative oven method: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place boiled ribs on a broiler rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet for easy cleanup.
  9. Brush both sides of ribs with barbecue sauce.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until browned and heated through, turning once and brushing with additional sauce as desired.
