Low Cost Meal
One of the biggest reasons we love these ribs is the price. It’s hard to find a low cost meat packed with this much flavor For this dish, the three pounds of pork ribs cost just over 10 bucks. Feeding my family of six on 10 bucks, plus some things I have in the pantry and fridge, is a huge win.
What are Country Style Ribs?
The label “Country Style Ribs” is slapped on two different cuts of pork. True country ribs are cut from the loin and usually have a small bone at the end, but can also be boneless. Sometimes fingers of pork shoulder are sold as country style ribs but are really just shoulder.
Make the Marinade
Stir together wine, barbecue sauce, cider vinegar, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl until well mixed
Place ribs in a baking dish. Pour dijon and red wine mixture over ribs and coat thoroughly:
Place the marinating pork in the fridge for 2 to 24 hours.
When ready to cook the country ribs, mix the onion powder and garlic powder in a bowl. Dust ribs with powder mixture and prepare the grill:
Set up the grill for indirect grilling. Preheat the grill to 300F (+/- 25F) with one side hot and no direct heat on the other side.
Place the ribs on the side with no direct heat and a chunk of smoke wood that pairs well with pork on the hot coals or over the lit burner:
Grill ribs over indirect heat for about 45 minutes, rotating the meat if the ribs closest to the heat are cooking faster than the rest
Baste with barbecue sauce.
Continue grilling/basting until meat is tender, turning and basting frequently.
What Temp?
How long this will take depends on which version of these ribs you cook. If they are the pork shoulder variety, they need to go north of 180F to render out the collagen. If they are the pork chop variety, then anything north of 145F will be fine, but I wouldn’t go much beyond 165F-170F.
