Country Style Ribs


This is a great alternative to baby backs when you're craving the barbecue thing - but don't quite have the means to fund it. Country style ribs are far less than baby backs, yet have great flavor. The slow roast at first insures tender meat, and the rub gives great flavor.

6-8 country style pork ribs
1/2 cup SOB rub (see blog entry on SOB rub)
3/4 cups Memphis style Sauce


  1. Cover each side of the ribs with the SOB rub.

  2. Place in a grill on the lowest possible heat - or in an oven set to 200. Leave them alone for an hour.

  3. Turn grill, or oven, up to medium low and walk away for another hour.

  4. Turn grill to medium high - and coat each rib liberally with sauce. Be careful at this point, since the sugars in the sauce will burn quickly. Give the ribs just another five minutes or so, letting the sauce caramelize, then remove to a plate and let them rest for 10 minutes.

  5. Serve with extra sauce for slopping around.
