Step 1
Pat the ribs completely dry with paper towels. Season generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it smokes, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Lay ribs bone-side down in the skillet without moving them. Sear until a dark crust forms, 3–4 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the ribs and sear the meat side until charred and an instant-read thermometer reads 130°F for medium-rare, 2–3 minutes.
Step 5
Stir minced garlic with parsley in a small bowl to make a quick chimichurri salt.
Step 6
Rest the ribs on a plate for 2 minutes, then scatter the chimichurri salt over the top. Serve immediately.
