Step 1
Pat the ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika on all sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear ribs 3 minutes per side without moving until a dark crust forms. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add minced garlic and onion to the same skillet, cook 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in vinegar and broth.
Step 5
Return ribs to the skillet, add bay leaves, cover, and simmer on low for 12 minutes until meat is tender.
Step 6
Uncover, switch oven to broil, and broil 2–3 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and edges char.
