Step 1
Pat lamb shanks dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear lamb 2 minutes per side without moving. Shanks should be browned; remove and set aside.
Step 4
Stir harissa into the pan, cook 30 seconds until fragrant, then add tomatoes, broth, and honey.
Step 5
Return lamb to the skillet, nestling it into the sauce. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, simmer 15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove lid, scatter cilantro over the top. Serve immediately in a shallow bowl with sauce spooned over.
