Ingredients
- 2 pounds Pork ribs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Barbecue sauce
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels and trim any excess fat, if needed.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Step 3
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the pork ribs, rubbing it in gently to coat the ribs thoroughly.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, sear the pork ribs for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the ribs and set aside.
Step 6
Slice the onion into thin rings and add them to the same skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Step 7
Return the pork ribs to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Step 8
Let the ribs simmer for 60 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid hasn’t evaporated (add a little water if needed).
Step 9
After 60 minutes, pour the barbecue sauce over the ribs and gently coat them with the sauce.
Step 10
Continue cooking the ribs, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the ribs.
Step 11
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the ribs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 12
Serve the ribs warm with your desired sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
