Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil and set aside.
-
Step 2.
In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup yellow mustard, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons minced yellow onion, 1½ tablespoons lemon pepper, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 2 teaspoons paprika. Stir until well mixed.
-
Step 3.
Place 2 pounds pork country ribs in a large bowl or on a flat surface. Rub the mustard mixture all over the ribs, coating evenly. Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Step 4.
Bake the covered ribs in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and carefully uncover.
-
Step 5.
While the ribs are baking, in a small bowl or large cup, combine ¼ cup honey and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. After removing the ribs from the oven, pour the liquid from the bottom of the baking dish into the honey-cornstarch mixture and stir until smooth and lump-free.
-
Step 6.
Pour the honey mixture evenly over the ribs. Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 1½ hours, basting the ribs every 30 minutes with the liquid from the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 7.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
