Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Move ribs to a cutting board, tent loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes. Slice between the bones and serve hot.

  6. Step 6

    Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon before serving, if you like.
