Step 1
Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and just begins to smoke, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Add lamb in a single layer. Don't stir for 3 minutes—let it sear and char until the bottom is deep golden brown.
Step 4
Toss the lamb and cook for another 2–3 minutes until the other sides are charred. Remove to a plate.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp oil and sliced garlic. Cook for 60 seconds until fragrant but not brown.
Step 6
Return lamb to the skillet, squeeze half the lemon over it, and toss to coat. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
