Growing up, my favourite restaurant was Lonestar. Every single time we went I ordered the same thing – along with my mum and brother; we always ordered the ribs. The waitress would bring a bowl of hot water (for washing your fingers in) which would always get my excited that my meal was about to come, but the water always cooled down significantly by time our meals actually arrived. The meal was always massive, with chunky crunchy potatoes, a delicious coleslaw and sticky pork ribs. Definitely enough for the next day!
I thought it was time to give this delicious meal a go myself, and while I don’t promise that they are as good as Lonestar’s, they are still pretty darn good! They are a pretty cheap cut of meat, and actually quite a quick meal to prepare – so they go a treat at dinner parties and the like; just make sure there is a water bowl of some kind on hand.
