Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high until it foams, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear ribs 2 minutes per side without moving — they should be golden brown and caramelized.
Step 4
Remove ribs to a plate. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and garlic to the skillet, stirring until fragrant, 45 seconds.
Step 5
Pour wine around the pan, scraping up browned bits. Return ribs, add bay leaf, and simmer uncovered 10 minutes.
Step 6
Squeeze lime over the top. Taste and adjust salt. Serve hot with cilantro if desired.
