Frequently asked questions
Good questions, answered.
What are country-style ribs?
Despite the name, they're cut from the shoulder end of the loin and are meatier than traditional ribs, making them well-suited to braising.
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes, sear the ribs first, then combine everything in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
