Step 1
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Sear ribs in batches without moving them, 2 minutes per side until golden brown on edges.
Step 4
Remove ribs and set aside. Add minced garlic to the pan; cook 45 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in beef broth and vinegar; return ribs to the pan with bay leaves. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
Step 6
Ribs are done when meat is tender and pulls easily from bone. Serve hot in shallow bowls with pan sauce.
