Indonesian Charred Pork Ribs with Tomato Salad

Step 1

Toss potatoes with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp oil on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes until golden and fork-tender.

Step 2

While potatoes cook, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add ribs in a single layer and cook without moving for 4 minutes until edges brown and char slightly.

Step 5

Flip ribs, pour the sauce over them, and cook 5 more minutes, occasionally spooning glaze over meat until edges caramelize.

Step 6

Toss diced tomatoes with a pinch of salt and white vinegar. Serve ribs alongside roasted potatoes and tomato salad.
