Ingredients

• 4 pounds Country-style pork ribs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Onion
• 4 large Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 Bay leaves
• 4 Fresh thyme sprigs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Season the country-style pork ribs on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the ribs in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove the ribs and set them aside.

Step 5

Slice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion to the Dutch oven and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the onions, cooking and stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 7

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the beef broth, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

Step 8

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Return the seared ribs to the Dutch oven, nestling them into the liquid.

Step 10

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Braise the ribs for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Step 11

Carefully remove the Dutch oven from the oven. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.

Step 12

Serve the ribs with their braising liquid as a sauce, alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
