Step 1
Pat the 2 lb beef ribs dry with paper towels. Rub all over with 1 tbsp kosher salt and 1 tsp black pepper, pressing gently to adhere. Let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Preheat a grill or grill pan over high heat until smoking hot, about 10 minutes. Brush the grates with 1 tbsp olive oil.
Step 3
Brush the ribs with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Place on the grill, bone-side down, and cook without moving for 5-6 minutes until deep grill marks form.
Step 4
Flip the ribs and cook for another 5-6 minutes, until the other side is charred and the internal temperature reaches 130°F for medium-rare, or 145°F for medium.
Step 5
Move ribs to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve hot.
Step 6
Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon before serving, if you like.
