Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking dish or roasting pan
  • Aluminum foil
  • Small mixing bowl
  • Measuring spoons
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless country style pork ribs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar substitute (such as erythritol or stevia blend)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for heat
  • ½ cup beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar substitute, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, onion powder, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper to create the dry rub.
  • Pat the pork ribs dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for the rub to adhere properly.
  • Rub the olive oil all over the pork ribs, then generously coat them with the dry rub mixture, making sure all sides are covered.
  • Place the seasoned pork ribs in a single layer in a large baking dish or roasting pan.
  • Pour the beef broth and apple cider vinegar into the bottom of the pan, being careful not to wash off the rub from the ribs.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to ensure the moisture stays within the pan during the slow cooking process.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 3 hours, or until the pork is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  • Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Place the ribs back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to get a nicely caramelized crust.
  • Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Notes

The apple cider vinegar helps to tenderize the pork and adds a subtle tang to the dish, complementing the richness of the meat.
For those who prefer a barbecue flavor, consider adding a keto-friendly barbecue sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
Ensure that the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) to be properly cooked.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
If using a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the rib to check for doneness.
