Step 1
Pat pork ribs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Lay ribs in the pan without moving them. Sear 3 minutes until edges char dark brown and crust forms.
Step 4
Flip ribs once and sear the other side 2–3 minutes until caramelized. Remove to a plate.
Step 5
Lower heat to medium. Add butter and sliced garlic to the same pan; cook until fragrant, 60 seconds.
Step 6
Return ribs to pan and turn to coat in garlic butter. Squeeze lime juice over. Serve immediately.
