Step 1
Pat lamb dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear lamb without moving until edges are deep golden, 2–3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add diced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in red wine and tomatoes, scraping up browned bits. Return lamb and add bay leaf.
Step 6
Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until lamb is tender and sauce thickens, about 8–10 minutes. Top with parsley and serve.
