Country-Style Pork Ribs

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°. On a large work surface, pat the pork ribs dry and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of Canola oil. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and rub to coat evenly on all sides.

Step 2

Add remaining Canola oil to an enameled cast iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat. If you do not have a Dutch oven, see notes below.

Step 3

Brown the pork ribs by adding 2-3 ribs to the oil at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, and allow to sear on the first side for 4-5 minutes without moving or jostling. Turn the ribs over, and sear 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining ribs. Remove from the pan and set aside on a large plate to rest.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the peppers and the onions. Sauté for 5 minutes, or just until softened.

Step 5

Add the pineapple juice and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the ketchup, molasses, yellow mustard, chili powder, Worcestershire, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Step 6

Add the ribs, along with any juices, back to the Dutch oven, and turn to coat in the sauce. Cover, and transfer to the oven to bake for 1 hour. After an hour of baking, remove from the oven, turn the ribs and continue to bake, covered, for 1 hour more. Serve and enjoy.
