Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season aggressively with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear ribs 2 minutes per side without moving — you want a charred, dark crust on the bone side.
Step 4
While ribs rest, whisk parsley, garlic, vinegar, remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 5
Pour chimichurri over ribs or serve on the side for dipping. Serve immediately.
