Finger Licking Oven-Broiled Pork Ribs with Brown Rice

I was literally in hog heaven from my very first nibble of this succulent meat. For pork lovers, ribs are a “must eat meat”.  But for these ribs, the secret to healthier eating lies within the meat itself—pasture fed pork.  And the pre-salting and piercing guarantees that flavor goes all the way down to the bone.  You'll find that brown rice stirred in hot meat drippings is the perfect sidekick for these tender ribs.  

Serve at a homey dinner party and listen to your guests shout, “Yum!”

Finger Licking Oven-Broiled Pork Ribs with Brown Rice

Ingredients:

Makes about 3 servings

6      cuts of pasture-fed pork ribs (bone in)

½     teaspoon sea salt

1      tablespoon lemon juice

1      tablespoon Coconut Secret Coconut Aminos

1 ½  teaspoons Seitenbacher Organic Herb Dead Sea Salt

1      teaspoon onion powder

1      teaspoon olive oil (not extra virgin)

Gently wash meat.  Pat dry.  Lightly salt each piece.  Rub to ensure even distribution.  With a dinner fork, pierce the meat all over. Put in refrigerator in an open dish for 3-6 hours (overnight if possible).

After meat has chilled, preheat oven on low broil (about 275 ^o). Remove ribs from refrigerator and place them in a baking dish.  Pour on lemon juice and coconut aminos.  Dust with Seitenbacher Organic Herb Salt and onion powder.  Rub meat to distribute ingredients evenly.  Let sit for 5 minutes.  Arrange ribs a few inches apart in open baking dish, lightly drizzle meat with olive oil, and then place dish in center of oven. 

Broil for about 50 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for about 45 minutes on the other side.  Turn again and cook for about 10 minutes or until very meat tender and when thickest parts show no pink. Remove from oven, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes.
