Country-Style Ribs

Country Style Ribs are one of the most underrated cuts—and one of the most satisfying. Despite the name, they aren't true ribs. These meaty cuts come from the shoulder, offering the rich flavor of pork butt with the convenience of rib-sized portions. Each pack includes four generous ribs, totaling around 2 pounds, making them perfect for slow cooking, braising, baking, or grilling. They're well-marbled and full of flavor, with just enough fat to stay juicy and tender.

Cooking Tips:

Oven-Braised: Sear in a skillet, then braise in broth, cider, or tomato sauce at 300°F for 2 to 2.5 hours until fork-tender.

Slow Cooker Favorite: Add to a crockpot with BBQ sauce, onions, and a splash of vinegar. Cook on low for 6–7 hours until the meat is pull-apart tender.

Grill & Finish: Pre-cook in the oven or slow cooker, then finish on the grill with a sauce glaze for 10–15 minutes over indirect heat.

Instant Pot Ready: Pressure cook with your favorite seasonings for 35–40 minutes, then reduce the cooking liquid into a rich sauce.
