Cook Time: 8 hrs
Total Time: 8 hrs 10 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless pork ribs
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (paleo-friendly)
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 lbs of boneless pork ribs, 1 cup of paleo-friendly barbecue sauce, 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Rinse the boneless pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help remove any excess moisture and ensure better seasoning adherence.
- In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a seasoning blend.
- Rub the seasoning blend evenly over the pork ribs, ensuring that all sides are coated. This will enhance the flavor of the meat during cooking.
- Place the seasoned pork ribs into the crock pot. Spread them out evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Pour the 1 cup of paleo-friendly barbecue sauce over the pork ribs, making sure they are well coated. You can adjust the amount of sauce based on your preference.
- Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours. This slow cooking process will make the pork ribs tender and flavorful.
- After 8 hours, check the pork ribs for doneness. They should be tender and easily pull apart with a fork. If they are not yet tender, you can continue cooking for an additional hour.
- Once the ribs are cooked, carefully remove them from the crock pot and place them on a serving platter. You can drizzle additional barbecue sauce over the top if desired.
- Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat even more flavorful.
- Serve the crock pot boneless pork ribs with your favorite paleo-friendly side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Choose Quality Meat: Opt for high-quality boneless pork ribs for the best flavor and tenderness. Look for meat that has a good amount of marbling for extra juiciness.
- Marinate Overnight: For an even deeper flavor, consider marinating the ribs in the seasoning blend and barbecue sauce overnight. This will allow the spices to penetrate the meat more thoroughly.
- Adjust the Sauce: Feel free to customize the amount of barbecue sauce based on your taste preferences. If you like it saucy, add more; if you prefer a lighter coating, use less.
- Don’t Rush the Cooking Time: The key to tender ribs is low and slow cooking. Resist the urge to crank up the heat; let the crock pot work its magic over the full 8 hours for the best results.
- Serve with Fresh Sides: Pair your ribs with fresh, paleo-friendly sides like roasted sweet potatoes or a vibrant salad to balance the richness of the meat.
- Leftover Love: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They make for delicious sandwiches or can be added to salads the next day!
