Step 1
Pulse peanuts, paprika, cayenne, and ginger in a food processor until it looks like coarse breadcrumbs with flecks of peanut.
Step 2
Pat lamb strips dry. Toss with the spice blend, salt, and pepper until coated on all sides.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches if needed, sear lamb 90 seconds per side without moving, until edges char and meat is cooked through.
Step 5
Warm flatbread in a separate skillet or directly over a burner flame for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Step 6
Arrange lamb on a plate, squeeze lime over top, and serve with warm flatbread alongside.
