Step 1
Pat lamb steaks dry with paper towels. Mix cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Step 2
Rub both sides of the steaks with the spice blend, pressing so it adheres.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear lamb 2 minutes per side without moving. Edges should look charred and caramelized; center stays pink.
Step 5
Transfer lamb to a plate. Add butter and lemon juice to the hot skillet, swirling until melted and fragrant.
Step 6
Return lamb to the skillet and spoon the lemon-butter glaze over the top. Plate immediately, scatter lemon zest over each.
