Tyson Fresh Meats Foodservice pork country style ribs

Country Style Ribs

Country style ribs aren't ribs at all, but blade steaks or chops that are cuts of pork shoulder. They contain a mix of lean light meat from the loin, rich dark meat from the shoulder, and, if bone-in, part of the shoulder blade or rib bone. Low and slow cooking methods provide the best results for country-style ribs.
