Step 1
Pat ribs dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it just starts to smoke, ~2 minutes.
Step 3
Sear ribs bone-side down without moving for 3 minutes until deeply browned; flip and sear the meat side 2 minutes.
Step 4
Transfer ribs to a warm plate. While they rest, combine parsley, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Step 5
Stir the chimichurri, taste, and adjust salt. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil into the mixture and stir to combine.
Step 6
Plate ribs and spoon chimichurri over the top. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
