These Country Style Keto Ribs are not only flavorful, super tender, and delicious, but they are easy and can be made in the oven or on the grill! Plus, they can be made Paleo, Gluten-Free, AND Whole30-compliant!

My parents make these Keto Country Style Ribs almost every time they host a get-together. They are tender, flavorful, and everybody always loves them!

These ribs are one of our favorite grilling recipes, right up there with these Grilled Pork Chops With Pineapple Salsa! 

Why boil country-style ribs

To make the country-style ribs tender, they need to gently simmer for around 45 minutes to an hour.

This softens and tenderizes the meat. I do not recommend cooking them at a full boil though, as this will make the meat tough. 

After they have simmered, there are 2 options. You can either:

• Cook the ribs on the grill
• Or cook them in the oven

How to grill keto ribs

After they have simmered, melt together 1/4 Cup of butter, non-dairy butter, or ghee and 1 Cup of BBQ Sauce. I prefer to use Tessamae’s BBQ Sauce or Primal Kitchen BBQ Sauce because they are Keto, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly while still being super delicious!!!

Place the ribs on the grill over high heat and grill the ribs for around 20 minutes, basting with the BBQ mixture and turning frequently.

How to bake ribs

If you prefer to bake the ribs after boiling, simply place them in a large casserole dish with melted butter and BBQ Sauce (again, I prefer Tessamae’s or Primal Kitchen).

Make sure all the ribs are well coated with the BBQ mixture and cook at 325 degrees covered for 30 minutes. Then, remove the cover and cook an additional 30 minutes.

And that’s it! Perfect, flavorful, and tender BBQ Country Style Keto Ribs!!!

💭 Top tips

• Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days or frozen up to 4 months.
• You can use any BBQ you prefer, but I like to use Tessamae’s BBQ Sauce or Primal Kitchen BBQ Sauce because they’re both Keto, Paleo, and Whole30 friendly while still being super delicious!!!
• When choosing butter, I always choose grass-fed butter because it tastes so much better. It’s also way healthier! It has vitamin K-2 (which is good for your arteries!), good fats, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, if you are dairy-free or doing a Whole30, replace the butter with non-dairy butter or ghee.

Looking for something to serve with the ribs? This Sweet Poppyseed Paleo Coleslaw or this Keto Cornbread would go great!
