Step 1

Preheat oven to 375° convection. Heat a cast-iron skillet or another oven-safe pan with a teaspoon or two of oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Trim one slab (about 1½ lb) country-style boneless pork ribs of fat cap and any silverskin. Deepen the cuts to a little over half the thickness of the slab. Dry well with a paper towel.

Step 3

Give at a good sprinkle salt and pepper or 7:2:2 seasoning.

Step 4

Place in the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Get close to the final color you want when done.

Step 5

Remove from heat and brush the top (but not the bottom) generously with BBQ sauce of your choice. Be sure to get the slices.

Step 6

Place in the oven and bake until internal temp of about 145-150°. About 15 minutes for me. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
