Typically ribs are coated in a thick, sugary BBQ sauce, and even dry rubbed ribs often contain brown sugar as a primary ingredient in the rub. Given that KETO isn’t about depriving yourself, it’s about eating the right way, we sometimes have to modify or cut out things that we leaned was ok, but really isn’t.
Don’t forget to remove the membrane if it is present. Some butcher shops will do this for you, but many will leave it on as well. This membrane is a thin but very tough layer that can ruin the experience of eating the ribs if not removed. (you could totally throw it in the InstantPot with the bones after the meal for some bone broth!)
While choosing your meat try going organic grass fed and avoid completely frozen meat, when you have variations of pork a pig from poultry farm is the best choice.
