Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

  2. Step 2

    Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, coating both sides generously.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Sear ribs in batches without moving until edges char and meat is cooked through, 2–3 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a platter. Squeeze lime over the top and serve immediately.
