About this Recipe
Hey there, BBQ lovers! Ever heard of country style ribs? These bad boys are cut from the pork shoulder or blade end of the loin, and let me tell you, they’re the MVPs of meaty and tender textures, perfect for your next barbeque or grilling adventure. What’s cool about them? They’re boneless, making them a breeze to munch on, especially if you’re not a fan of wrestling with bones.
Originating from the heart of the countryside, country style ribs have rooted themselves deep in Southern cuisine, becoming the star of many backyard cookouts. While you can find them in beef, pork is where it’s at—thanks to its unbeatable tenderness and rich flavor.
Now, the secret to their mouthwatering goodness? Marbling. Those thin streaks of fat running through the meat pack a punch of juiciness and flavor, especially when slow-roasted or grilled low and slow. This method lets the fat melt right into the meat, ensuring each bite is succulently tender.
On your next grocery run, you might stumble upon two types – shoulder cut or butt-end cut. Shoulder cut is a bit tougher but oh-so-flavorful, especially when cooked slowly. The butt-end? It’s leaner but still promises a tender feast.
Wanna spice things up? Try SWEEETHEAT’s Southern Spice Blend recipe. It’s a game-changer, blending sweet honey vibes with tangy spices like paprika and cayenne pepper to perfectly complement pork.

Affordable, easy to whip up, and versatile in flavors, they’re guaranteed to make your meal unforgettable. Don’t forget to sprinkle some SWEEETHEAT magic on them for that extra kick!
