Baked Country Style Pork Ribs

Pork that is cut from the shoulder generally requires long slow cooking to become fork tender, however, these “pork strips” are actually cut from closer to the loin and can be cooked in a variety of ways. They are certainly delicious when cooked low and slow but they can also be baked in about 45 minutes in Convection.

In this recipe, I used a combination of Convection + microwaves at the beginning of the cooking to speed up the cooking process (Skip this step if preparing the ribs in a traditional oven but plan to cook the ribs for an additional 5 - 10 minutes).) After 10 minutes of Speed cooking, I changed the mode to Convection and added a tray of small golden potatoes to roast for 20 minutes.  When the timer elapsed I folded some Brussels sprouts in with the potatoes and continued cooking the meal for another 15 minutes. At the end of the cooking, I brushed the ribs with some BBQ sauce and put them back in the oven for another 5 - 8 minutes to warm through. Overall the cooking time is approximately 50 - 60 minutes.
