Description

These Greek-style ribs are a delightful fusion of tender pork and bright Mediterranean flavors. The combination of melted butter, garlic powder, fresh lemon juice, and dried oregano creates a fragrant marinade that penetrates the meat during baking. The result is juicy, flavorful ribs with a subtle citrus kick and herbal aroma. Perfect for family dinners, potlucks, or casual gatherings, this dish offers a satisfying main course that feels both comforting and elegant. Simple ingredients come together to create a memorable meal that pairs well with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175°C).
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat; stir in garlic powder until combined.
  3. Rub the garlic-butter mixture generously over both sides of the pork ribs.
  4. Squeeze fresh lemon juice evenly over all ribs.
  5. Sprinkle dried oregano liberally over the ribs, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Place ribs in a baking dish or on a rack in a roasting pan.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, basting with remaining lemon juice every 20 minutes.
  8. Baste once more just before removing from oven for a glossy finish.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Note

For extra tenderness, cover ribs with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking, then uncover to brown.

Substitute fresh minced garlic for garlic powder if preferred; use 2-3 cloves per teaspoon of powder.

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a mild heat.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in oven or microwave.

Serves well with Greek salad, couscous, or roasted potatoes.
