Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Rub the spice mixture all over the ribs, coating both sides generously.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear ribs in batches without moving until edges char and meat is cooked through, 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 5
Transfer to a platter. Squeeze lime over the top and serve immediately.
