You will be blown away at how meaty, juicy, and delicious these smoked, and BBQ sauce braised country-style ribs are. The flavor in these ribs is incredible and easy to make, even for beginner smokers.

Country-style ribs are a cut of pork where the blade end of the pork loin meets the shoulder. They can be bone-in or boneless; I prefer the latter. In addition, while much smaller, they can also be the blade end of the pork loin. I personally believe the shoulder cut is much more tender and meatier. Country-style ribs are sometimes called pork shoulder steaks.

Country ribs are typically 1 to ½ inches thick and can weigh from 8 ounces to 1 pound with a good amount of intermuscular fat. Since this can be a tougher cut of meat, it's best slow-cooked at low temperatures in a smoker or oven. I believe smoking incorporates the most flavor into country ribs, making them the most delicious cooking procedure.
