Grilled Country Style Pork Ribs

Step 1

Place a dry rub or a barbecue sauce on the country style pork ribs. The rub or the sauce should be a flavor that you know your family will like. Liberally spread the rub or the sauce over your pork rib. Add 1 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper, if you desire. Cover the meat and place it in the refrigerator for an hour. This will allow the flavor to soak into the meat.
