Step 1
Mix honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and lime juice in a small bowl.
Step 2
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add ribs to the skillet in a single layer. Sear 3 minutes per side without moving until edges char.
Step 5
Pour the glaze over the ribs. Add cherry tomatoes to the pan around them. Toss tomatoes with a spoon.
Step 6
Continue cooking 4–5 minutes until glaze thickens and tomatoes begin to blister. Remove from heat.
Step 7
Plate ribs and tomatoes. Drizzle with pan glaze. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
