The grocery store here has some pretty amazing deals from time to time. Recently, there was a sale on some lovely HUGE pork ribs. $1 a pound!! Monday, I made some super yummy, oniony, slow cooked ribs. They absolutely melted in my mouth!
What you need:
Huge, well marbled pork ribs (not baby back ribs)
1-2 pkg onion soup mix
2 tbs worshire sauce
large plastic or glass container with lid
Olive oil
What you do:
Rub the soup mix and worshire sauce into each rib. They should not be soaking wet, just damp. Allow the marinade for at least 2 hours, but preferably 6-8 or even overnight.
Preheat oven to 375. In a super hot pan, add a about 3 tbs olive oil. Place each rib in the pan, but DON'T CROWD THEM! Let each side get well seared (dark brown)...roughly 3-4 mins per side, eye ball it. You're not looking to get them totally done!!
In a large, covered baking dish, lightly coat the bottom with olive oil...maybe 4 tbs. Put the ribs in the dish, and use a bit of water (maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup) to deglaze the pan. Deglazing just means, adding enough water or liquid to get the crusty stuff off the bottom of the pan...it makes a lovely sauce, since that's where all the flavor collects! Add the juice over the top of the ribs. You can add chopped veggies at this point (potatoes, carrots, celery, turnips, etc.)
Cover the dish and bake for around 30 mins. Check the ribs, to see if they're done to your liking. There should be no blood, but a touch of pink is okay. Don't overcook them...unless you like super tough meat.
Happy eating!
