Step 1
Cut lamb into 1-inch cubes, pat dry with paper towels, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Mix crushed peanuts, cayenne, paprika, and onion powder in a shallow bowl.
Step 3
Coat each lamb cube in the peanut spice mixture, pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 4
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers and just begins to smoke, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Working in batches, sear lamb without stirring for 2 minutes per side until deep golden-brown and crispy.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate, squeeze lime juice over the top, and serve hot with sliced onion and lime wedges.
