How to Make Best Ever Country Style Ribs
- **Make the Dry Rub:** In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel, 3 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika. Mix well. Store leftover rub in an airtight container.
- **Season the Ribs:** Generously rub the dry spice mixture all over the country-style ribs.
- **Marinate:** Place the ribs in a glass baking dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least several hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to fully penetrate.
- **Prepare the Sauce:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup beer, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Braising:** Transfer the ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Reserve 1 cup of the sauce for basting later. Pour the remaining sauce over the ribs.
- **Slow Cook:** Cover the pot and cook the ribs over low heat on the stovetop or in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the ribs are incredibly tender and easily pull apart.
- **Grill Prep:** While the ribs are braising, prepare your grill for medium heat or preheat your broiler.
- **Finishing Touch:** Remove the ribs from the Dutch oven and discard the cooking liquid. Spread half of the reserved sauce evenly over the ribs.
- **Crisp and Char:** Place the ribs on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for about 5 minutes, until crispy and slightly browned. Flip the ribs and spread with the remaining sauce.
- **Final Cook:** Grill/broil for another 5 minutes, until the ribs are perfectly caramelized and the sauce is bubbly.
- **Serve:** Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
