Country style pork ribs are cut from the top five ribs on the hog. These ribs are generally considered to be a part of the shoulder. As a result, country style ribs are essentially a cross cut pork shoulder. Each rib has a substantial piece of well marbled meat attached to it. The meat attached to the ribs is full of flavor but can be tough unless cooked properly.
We recommend cooking these ribs low and slow to give the muscle fibers time to break down and become nice and tender. They are great braised in a slow cooker or smoked on the grill. Because the meat is so richly flavored, these ribs pair great with vibrant sauces.
Each package of Red House Ranch country style pork ribs weighs roughly two pounds and contains five to six ribs which is enough for two to three servings.
