This recipe for Asian Country-Style Pork Ribs made in the Slow Cooker is so flavorful. And, you will not believe how tender the meat is!

Country-style pork ribs do not have any bones. They are meaty and come from close to the shoulder blade. This cut of meat is a bit fatty, but full of flavor and will melt in your mouth.

I like to marinate the Asian Country-Style Pork Ribs (Slow Cooker) for at least a couple of hours, or even overnight. The longer they marinate the more full of flavor they will be. I just put the ribs in a big zip-loc bag with some soy sauce, balsamic and a few other goodies.

When it is time to cook the ribs I go ahead and start the slow cooker with some broth and seasonings. Then I start up my good old cast iron skillet and give these guys a good searing before adding them to the slow cooker. I also take the leftover marinade and throw it in the slow cooker too.
