Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Start fries in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, following package directions. Transfer to a plate when golden.

  2. Step 2

    Pat ribs dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Add butter to the same skillet over medium-high heat. Once foaming, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Lay ribs in the skillet in a single layer. Sear without moving for 2 minutes until golden, then flip and sear the other side 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Warm rice and roasted vegetables in a separate pot or microwave while ribs finish cooking.

  6. Step 6

    Plate ribs with fries, rice, and vegetables. Squeeze lime over everything and serve hot.
