Step 1
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear ribs 3 minutes per side without moving — edges should be golden and crispy.
Step 3
Return all ribs to the pan and scatter minced garlic over them.
Step 4
Pour soy sauce around the ribs and toss gently for 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant and ribs glaze.
Step 5
Squeeze lime juice over the top and taste — adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Step 6
Serve immediately, spooning pan sauce over each portion; garnish with cilantro if desired.
