BONELESS COUNTRY STYLE RIBS WITH RICE RECIPES

Steps:

• Season ribs on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat bacon grease over medium-high heat.
• Sear ribs on all sides then set aside.
• Add beef broth, water, Liquid Smoke, salt and remaining spices to pot. Stir to deglaze the pan then reduce heat to low.
• Add ribs to broth, cover pot then cook over low heat for 2-3 hours or until very tender. DO NOT let the broth come to a full boil.
• Remove ribs from broth then cool. Keep pot covered.
• Shred rib meat into small pieces, discarding fatty bits and bones if applicable.
• Taste broth for seasoning then add more if desired. Bring broth to a boil.
• Once boiling, add rice and rib meat.
• Bring to a gentle boil then cover, reduce heat to low or medium-low (wherever your dial gives you a gentle simmer) then cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender.
• Stir rice once or twice with a fork to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan but don’t overwork the rice. Don’t stir the rice or open the lid the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• Remove from heat then let rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Season the ribs with salt and pepper to taste and dredge them in flour. Fry the ribs in the oil in small batches, adding oil as needed, to sear the meat. This should take 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Set ribs aside.
• In the same pot, add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Add the celery and carrots and saute for 1 more minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and then stir in the garlic, bay leaves and thyme and cook for 1 more minute.
• Deglaze the pot with the red wine, scraping up all the bits on the bottom. Add the stock, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer. Add the ribs and continue to simmer for 2 hours, until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley and serve.
