Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the 3 tbsp olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Step 2
Add the 1.5 lb lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor.
Step 3
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb onto the 8 soaked skewers, dividing evenly, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
Step 4
Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes total, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the lamb is nicely charred on the outside and reaches your desired doneness (about 135°F for medium-rare).
Step 5
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot, with a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if you like.
Step 6
Enjoy your smoky, tender lamb skewers straight off the grill!
