Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add ribs in a single layer and sear without moving for 3 minutes until caramelized on bottom. Flip and sear another 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Stir together hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Pour over ribs and toss to coat.

  5. Step 5

    Reduce heat to medium and simmer 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and ribs glisten.

  6. Step 6

    Slide onto a plate, drizzle any remaining sauce on top, and scatter sesame seeds over. Serve immediately.
