Ingredients

• 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, sliced
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Trim any excess fat from the country-style pork ribs, then pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Rub the spice mixture evenly over all sides of the ribs.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the oil is hot, sear the ribs for 2 minutes per side until browned. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until softened and slightly golden.

Step 8

Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring it to a simmer, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Return the ribs to the skillet, arranging them in a single layer, and spoon some of the broth over the top.

Step 10

Cover the skillet tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the ribs are tender and fall-apart soft.

Step 12

Once cooked, carefully transfer the ribs to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 13

To make the gravy, strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan and discard the onions (or keep them if you prefer a chunky gravy). Skim off any excess fat.

Step 14

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually whisk the mixture into the saucepan with the cooking liquid.

Step 15

Bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 16

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 17

Serve the baked country ribs with the gravy drizzled over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
