Step 1
Thread lamb cubes onto skewers, spacing them 1/4 inch apart. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and just begins to smoke, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add Aleppo pepper and cumin, stir to bloom, another 20 seconds.
Step 4
Lay skewers in the pan without moving them. Sear until the bottoms are deeply browned and charred, 2–2.5 minutes.
Step 5
Flip skewers and sear the other side until cooked through but still juicy inside, another 2–2.5 minutes. The internal temp should reach 160°F.
Step 6
Squeeze lemon juice over the top and scatter the zest. Serve immediately while the edges are still sizzling.
