Step 1
Pat the 2 pounds lamb ribs dry with paper towels. Rub the 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes all over the ribs. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Place the ribs in the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Sear without moving until deeply browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Step 4
Flip the ribs and cook the other side until browned and the meat is tender, about 4-5 minutes more. The ribs should be golden and crispy on the outside.
Step 5
Transfer the ribs to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. The meat should be juicy and pull easily from the bone.
