 These Braised Country Style Ribs have an Asian flare with orange juice and soy sauce that pairs perfectly with this low and slow pork dish. Crock Pot friendly too! Asian Braised Country Style Ribs

I’m going to let you in on some cold, hard, facts – the holidays are expensive. I don’t care how you slice it, the last two months of the year are so terribly expensive that we have to save up during the other 10 months just to pay for it. So, here in the middle of the most expensive month during the most expensive holiday of the year we embrace the cheap cuts of meat. And there isn’t much in the meat case that’s cheaper than country style pork ribs (ok, there’s lots of chicken, but a girl can only eat so much chicken).

What is a Country Style Rib?

According to Wikipedia and my local butcher “Country–style ribs are cut from the blade end of the loin close to the pork shoulder. They are meatier than other rib cuts. They contain no rib bones, but instead contain parts of the shoulder blade.” 

So, they are kind of like a boston butt but with more bone. Which makes them perfect for braising in the oven or a slow cooker. There is also a boneless variety of country style ribs that are a little bit leaner (more from the loin end I think) that are also great for braising and take a little bit less time to cook.

We usually make country style ribs with some kind with a barbecue style sauce, but this Asian variation is a nice change of pace.

Asian ingredients

There are some ingredients in this recipe that you may or may not be familiar with.

Hoisin sauce is fairly common and is a bit like an Asian barbecue sauce. Most grocery stores (even my little small town one) carries some brand or another and it’s super handy to have around to add a little sweetness to any Asian style sauce or stir fry.

Chili Oil is also something a little different, but man does it pack a punch. A little goes a long way with this stuff but it adds a wonderful heat to any dish.

That’s it! Make a sauce and braise these puppies until they are nice and tender! It’ll be your new favorite way to pinch pennies during the holidays.
