Step 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 2
Brown the lamb, stirring occasionally, until light golden on edges, 5–6 minutes. Don't worry about cooking through.
Step 3
Add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in cumin and hot pepper flakes, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Pour in the canned tomatoes (with juice) and 2 cups water. Season with salt and pepper, then bring to a simmer.
Step 6
Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes until the lamb is tender and the broth has deepened. Stir in cilantro, taste, and adjust seasoning.
