Sunday Gravy with Country Style Ribs is is easy to make and full of incredible flavor

FARGO — My husband grew up in a Sicilian household in Toronto, in a neighborhood filled with Italian immigrants. Every Sunday, his mother would make the “Sunday Gravy,” and to this day his brother’s family continues the tradition. In our home, we prefer a little more variety in our culinary routine, but if I had to pick a dish to eat every single week, I would be hard-pressed to find one better than Sunday Gravy with Country Style Ribs.

Sunday gravy is a North American term for a tomato-based sauce that is typically slow cooked with a bone-in cut of meat, like pork or beef ribs, beef, veal or lamb shank, and oxtail. My mother-in-law uses baby back ribs for her Sunday gravy and often adds cubes of beef stew meat for additional flavor, but I am using country-style ribs for my gravy recipe.
