GRILLED COUNTRY STYLE RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE-CHILI SALSA image

Categories     Pork     Low Carb     Low Sodium     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3-4 country style ribs (boneless)
1 cup italian dressing
3 slices fresh ripe pineapple
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup diced red onion
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp lime zest
2 tsp minced serrano or jalepeño pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Marinate ribs in a large plastic zip bag with the italian dressing for at least one hour. Preheat grill to approximately 400. Slice the lower 2 inches off the fresh pineapple, slice off from remaining fruit three 1/2" slices. Core/skin them, then grill for approx. 5 minutes per side. Some charring is ok, but don't burn them. Remove from the grill, dice, and place in a bowl with remaining ingredients. Watch the cilantro, as a little goes a long way! Remove ribs from marinade and remove excess from the meat. Grill at least 5-7 minutes per side until done (use thermometer, as they are usually pretty thick). Arrange on a plate and spoon on liberal amounts of salsa. Side note: Try serving with rice pilaf or country style smashed potatoes (skin on). You may vary the heat and associated flavor from the peppers by experimenting with different varieties.

GRILLED COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS



Grilled Country-Style Ribs image

We're having company from Brazil - the land of outdoor grilling. Country ribs were on sale locally, so this seemed a no-brainer! I happened to have those 2 types of chili powder - other can be used instead. Same with the salt.

Provided by Carolyn Haas

Categories     Pork

Time 8h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 Tbsp light brown sugar
1 Tbsp coarse sea salt (or less!)
1/2 Tbsp ground ancho chili powder
1/2 Tbsp ground new mexico chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
2 1/2 lb country ribs

Steps:

  • 1. In a small bowl, measure and blend together all the seasonings. Rub into all surfaces of country ribs. Put into resealable bag or dish covered with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. (Less time will work, flavors won't be as intense)
  • 2. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium (about 350°F to 450°F). If using charcoal, let coals turn gray and spread out.
  • 3. Place the ribs on the grill with the larger, flatter side down, cover the grill, and cook until the pork is browned and crusty on the bottom, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, cover, and cook until it's browned and crusty on the other side, about 5 to 7 minutes more. Rotate the ribs so that they are resting on a thinner side (you may need to prop them up against one another), cover, and cook until browned and crusty, about 4 to 6 minutes. Flip to the other thinner side, cover, and cook until browned and crusty or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thickest rib registers 145°F, about 4 to 6 minutes more. Transfer to a clean serving platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.

BRINED AND GRILLED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS RECIPE - (4/5)



Brined and grilled country-style pork ribs Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by MammaB

Number Of Ingredients 21

Brine:
2 cups water
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup kosher salt
1 Tablespoon whole peppercorns
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 cups ice
1 1/4 pounds country style pork ribs
Barbecue sauce:
1 (6-oz) can tomato paste
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground dry ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
2 Tablespoons water
Sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Brine: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, brown sugar, salt peppercorns and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar and salt have dissolved. Add ice and stir until completely cooled. Transfer brine to a large sealable plastic bag. Add ribs. Seal the bag and refriderate at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours. Barbecue sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tomato paste, brown sugar, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, ginger, cumin, mustard powder, honey, sesame oil and water. Cooking: When ready to cook, heat a grill to medium high. Coat the grate with oil or cooking spray. Drain and discard the brine. Place ribs on the grill. Brush tops of the ribs with the barbecue sauce, then cover the grill and cook 5 minutes. Use tongs, flip the ribs, then brush the tops with additional barbecue sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until an instant read thermometer inserted at the thickest part of the rib reads 160 degrees. Just before serving, sprinkle ribs with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Country-style ribs are the best choice for grilling. They are meaty and flavorful, and they hold up well to the high heat of the grill.
  • Prepare the ribs: Before grilling, remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a flavorful marinade or rub: A good marinade or rub will help to add flavor to the ribs. Be sure to let the ribs marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Grill the ribs over medium heat: This will help to prevent the ribs from burning and will allow them to cook through evenly.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with a mixture of barbecue sauce, honey, and butter will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the ribs until they are tender: The ribs are done cooking when they are tender and fall off the bone. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.

Conclusion:

Grilled country-style ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your ribs turn out perfectly cooked and flavorful every time. So fire up the grill and get started!
