Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high until smoking slightly, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Sear ribs 3–4 minutes per side without moving—edges should be deeply browned and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Scatter minced garlic over the ribs. Transfer the skillet to a preheated broiler.

  5. Step 5

    Broil 4–5 minutes until the fat is bubbling and the surface looks charred in spots.

  6. Step 6

    Scatter parsley over the top if using. Serve immediately straight from the skillet.
