Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season aggressively with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear ribs 2 minutes per side without moving — you want a charred, dark crust on the bone side.

  4. Step 4

    While ribs rest, whisk parsley, garlic, vinegar, remaining olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Pour chimichurri over ribs or serve on the side for dipping. Serve immediately.

Tools you’ll need

  • 12-inch cast iron skillet
  • paper towels
