Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and peanut butter in a bowl until it forms a thick paste.

  2. Step 2

    Coat lamb cubes thoroughly with the spice paste, tossing until every piece is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over high heat until it starts to smoke, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Working in batches, sear lamb 2 minutes per side, letting edges blacken slightly and char. Transfer to a plate.

  5. Step 5

    Squeeze fresh lime over the meat and serve immediately while still sizzling.
