The Best Country Style Ribs

[@brandonb1681]

TY for giving country style ribs some attention. They were a staple in the house growing up.

[@Fosterhome4Leatherface]

That hit when he said "the ones I grew up on".. you ain't lying. So many memories came flooding in. Amazing how good my Dad made food with little money.

[@JEM133]

Country strip ribs,as they're called out here in the west,are the bomb.I eat them often, and the smoker loves them.They are versatile,too,not just the barbecue, smoker.

[@phoustonnow]

I rewatch this every other week as I prepare these ribs. A family favorite. I almost have it memorized.

[@aschaeffer]

Amazing production quality. Transitions, Ad breaks, Call to Action, music. And the food looks amazing too! Might have sold me on a pellet grill with that bar scene!

[@SAABguyMD]

What I don't like about the traeger is some models are limited on temperature steps and the single fan models have been known to catch on fire

[@aschaeffer]

@@SAABguyMD Agreed. I've done a bunch of research over the last couple years and would likely not go with Traeger. But people love 'em so there's that... and, they have a huge and supportive community. That is very valuable in my opinion. A bunch of events and ambassadors, etc.

[@jakemagee6370]

This was a hit with my family. Made the Apple juice/ BBQ sauce/brown sugar braising mixture. Thank you for the recipe! Super easy cook on the Treager.

[@Michael_Clark_II]

This is absolutely… The “realest” pit master evert! This dude, show us how the season; how to grill - then gets sum’ payback by rubbing theses ribs down in sauce; and to 🔝 all that - this all American 🇺🇸 kicks back a cold one (beer), like no never mind BOW! You Rock!

[@jackyucuis8655]

Matt you are incredible! I made these today and turned out fantastic. Since I had nothing for brazing I tried double wrapping in foil with butter and brown sugar. Then waited as Matt says until hitting internal temperature of 195 before saucing. I can’t wait to do them again using Matt’s braze method.

[@BrandonMobley614]

As a lifelong North Texas native, country style ribs have always been a go to for their inexpensiveness and endless flavor possibilities. I'll have to give this style a go. I've used your rubs for a couple of years now. Hopefully one of these days soon I'll make it down to Waxahachie to check out the shop!

[@MojoBarbeque]

The best recipe is the one in your head. Another great cook Mr Matt.

[@randyhogan3071]

The bar shot with the Traeger app just took you to another level of smooth, Pittman.

It’s a great feature! 👊🏽

@@MeatChurchBBQ If I could have a beer at lunch, go back to work and taste test some awesome smoked meats I'd do the same. Rock on!

[@jasonmichael5683]

That app is game changing.

[@punishermarvel7484]

Slow n low. Around 300° until you reach 195° internal. Idk if everyone forgets to mention it or its just one of the best kept secrets but thank you for this bit of info.

[@ernestalspaw6048]

One thing I love about these videos is how real they are. Like the fire department swinging by. That is what bbq is all about, fun, food, and friends

[@chrissicking1801]

O heck yeah ! Thanks for reminding me. Gonna go get some and grill them today. Any day to grill is a good day. Thank you Lord for the rain.

I made this today for my wife and her ladies brunch. Cubed up like burnt ends and glazed with my homemade sweet and spicy sauce. I received great compliments from all the ladies. Thank you for another great idea.

[@4406bbldb]

Haa, I have country ribs in the oven right now and this video has me salivating already. I don’t use any sugar but my is good if I can wait till it’s COMPLETELY cooked. Thanks for the video.

[@jeffryscobba867]

I found this video about six months ago and made the apple juice kind. I tested it on a young couple and we all loved it. Forward to this weekend, my wife and I threw a birthday party for a friend turning 50 with 17 guests. I smoked 25 lbs of butt ribs and used your holy vodo seasoning. It was a great success. Kudos to you.🤤

[@RichLowe-z7b]

YOU DA MAN MATT!!!!!!! Thanks, is an understatement. I'm a first-time grill smoker. Appreciate your guidance! This was the best I have ever cooked.

[@MeatChurchBBQ]

Glad I could help!

[@TuckerBurgess]

Just watched with my little girl, and she wants to watch another because"that was amazing". Keep up the good work. Just had to restock on the rubs today, spreading the good news of the church to everyone.

[@BIGREDTECH]

I bought a pro series 780 and I’ve been using the heck out of it! I’m smoking twice a week! I love it! Had it for a month now. A friend and work told me to check meat church out and I’ve been using a couple of recipes!

[@georgedamian3537]

Thank you for the country style rib recipe!!! I’ve been looking for one. This is over the top!!!

[@THEMOWERMEDIC1]

Just deboned a shoulder and going to replicate this recipe! Those look like money!! Greetings from Terrell tx!

[@cjbradley8385]

Holy Gospel is my families favorite rib rub by far! Probably little sweet for these recipes though. Good stuff Matt!

[@heavyq]

I absolutely love country-style ribs. They're usually cheap, they taste great, and they are practically impossible to screw up. Excellent video, Matt. I need that pineapple habanero braising liquid in my life.

[@millybadison767]

As a lifelong Texas resident, I am embarrassed that I am only recently finding your channel. Absolutely awesome content man. Food always looks good and I get your rubs at Academy. Damn good stuff. Keep it up.

country style ribs with brown sugar was the first thing I cooked on a gifted electric water smoker that a friend gave me. They hooked me! freakin delicious and easy

[@MrBdogg317]

I just brought the timberline 1300 a few weeks ago. I did these country style ribs today. Only thing I did different was after I braised them I sauced them then hit them with the super smoke to tact it up. My family lost their minds and I only got one 😞. But anyway another good video bro. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@josephmazzone4131]

How long did it take for the country style ribs to reach temp when braising?

Nice!!

[@mcconn746]

I make my on BBQ sauce. The recipe was given to me by a Guy who had a side gig of cooking whole hogs when I went to college 50 years ago. A lot of my friends love it so I mostly use it when having guests but to be honest, I have grown to like just mustard on pork.

[@LyftedDieSeL_Wv]

I made these yesterday in the smoker with both rubs and only the pineapple brine. People loved them. Man Idk what rub is better gospel or voodoo. Both amazing

I’d like to see you smoke something with Franklin or La BBQ. Have always loved these guys.

I recently bought a Timberline 1300 and have been using it two to three times a week. A friend referred me to your videos and recipes - I love them and they have been extremely helpful! In this video at around time stamp 12:15 as you are preparing to sauce the ribs, you use a sheet pan and rack. Great idea that I'd like to copy! What size is the pan/rack? Would you know if a full size pan will fit in a Timberline 1300? Thanks in advance!!

[@robertm1692]

That is a half-sheet cookie pan and they are 18"x13" and the cooling rack looks like a standard cooling rack. Both are available on Amazon or any restaurant supply place. I have a Bellemain Cooling Rack and it works awesome.

[@al1961]

Hey buddy, love the videos. I really want to make these after work for a party but have a time constraint. Could I smoke these on the bbq for the first 1.5 hours, then put them in an over for the remaining 1.5 - 2 hours while they’re in the tray and then finish them off on the bbq again for 5 mins at the end? I can use the hour and half I have the bbq free to smoke and sear some ribeyes 😊
