Step 1
Pat ribs dry. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear ribs 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized and browned. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add garlic to the skillet, stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in lime juice, beer, brown sugar, worcestershire, and paprika.
Step 5
Return ribs to the skillet and nestle sausages among them. Simmer uncovered for 8–10 minutes until sauce thickens and ribs are tender.
Step 6
Serve hot with the pan sauce spooned over top.
