Country Style Pork Ribs with Madeira Mushroom Sauce
Ingredients:
8 ea 4-5oz Country Style Spare Ribs
6 Tbsp Spice Union French Chef's Blend
5 Tbsp All Purpose flour
2 Tbsp Canola Oil
2 Tbsp Butter
2 C Fresh Onion- finely minced
1 lb Fresh Mushrooms- sliced thick
1 Tbsp Fresh Garlic- finely minced
1 C Madeira Wine
1 Qt High quality beef stock (we prefer homemade)
-
Preheat a large Dutch oven to medium low heat.
-
Preheat your oven to 275°F.
-
Season the spare ribs with the French Chef's Blend. You will have some seasoning left over, which you will add to the dish later.
-
Dredge the spare ribs in the flour, shaking off any excess flour.
-
Place the canola oil and butter into the Dutch oven and heat until the butter starts to foam.
-
Place the spare ribs into the Dutch oven and brown on all sides. You want this to be a slow process, so it will take 4-5 minutes per side. Lower the heat if the bottom the Dutch oven starts to collect too many brown bits.
-
Remove the spare ribs from the Dutch oven and set them aside on a plate.
-
Add the onions, mushrooms and remaining French Chef's Blend to the Dutch oven.
-
Cook until the onion and mushrooms start to brown.
-
Add the fresh garlic and 2 tablespoons of the remaining all purpose flour to the Dutch oven, stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
-
Deglaze the pan with the Madeira Wine and reduce by half.
-
Add the beef stock to the Dutch oven and stir to combine.
-
Add the spare ribs back to the Dutch oven, cover and place the Dutch oven into your preheated oven.
-
Cook for 1 hour, 45 minutes. At this time, the spare ribs should cut with a fork, otherwise, return the Dutch oven to the oven and continue to cook until they are fork tender.
-
Serve the spare ribs over your favorite mashed potato recipe with a generous amount of the Madeira mushroom sauce.
