Ingredients

  • 3 pounds (1.5kg) boneless country-style ribs (pork shoulder or loin)
  • salt and pepper to taste (¾-1 teaspoon each per pound of pork is average)
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) Creole seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons (8g) minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons or more (8g) minced thyme (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons or more (6g) minced rosemary (divided)
  • 1 large onion, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉ (180℃).
  • Season the pork with the salt, pepper, Creole seasoning, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard, half of the thyme and rosemary, and rub well until thoroughly coated.
  • Layer the sliced onions in a shallow baking pan or roaster and sprinkle the other half of the thyme and rosemary over them.
  • Arrange the pork in a single layer on top of the onions, add more seasonings if desired, cover the pan with foil, and bake for about an hour.
  • After an hour, uncover the pan and continue cooking for about 30 minutes until the liquid reduces and the pork browns nicely.
  • Serve your country-style ribs with mashed potatoes and pan drippings.

Notes

  • When looking for packaged country-style ribs, go for the ones with similar sizes for even cooking.
  • You don't need to grease the roasting pan because the pork will release enough fat as it cooks.
  • For easy clean-up, use a disposable foil pan.
  • Letting your meat rest for 10 minutes after taking it off the heat allows the juices to reabsorb for juicier meat.
  • Please remember that the nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary significantly based on the products used in the recipe.
