The Basics of Gluten Free Korean Barbecue Country Pork Ribs
These country ribs couldn’t be easier. In just a few steps you will be on your way to total sticky, saucy barbecue bliss. This will be a new favorite dish.
First, let’s talk country style pork ribs. These in fact aren’t actually ribs but are usually boneless cuts from the pork loin. Because they are lean we want to ensure they stay tender and moist.
To achieve that we are going to cook these at a lower temperature, 300, covered, for two hours, or until tender. Once the country pork ribs are tender they get transferred to a smaller baking dish and tossed in the sauce. Reserve some of the sauce for serving!
An additional 30 minutes of baking uncovered smothered in the Korean barbecue sauce will leave these perfectly glazed, tender, and succulent.
