Ingredients
- 3 lbs Country-style pork ribs
- 1.5 cups Barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Pat the country-style ribs dry with paper towels and season them evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, until they develop a golden-brown crust. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 3
Transfer the seared ribs to the slow cooker, arranging them in an even layer.
Step 4
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs in the slow cooker, ensuring all the ribs are coated.
Step 6
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Step 7
Once done, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
Step 8
Optional: For a thicker sauce, pour the cooking liquid into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5-10 minutes until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 9
Serve the ribs hot, drizzled with additional sauce if desired. Enjoy with sides like mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cornbread.
