Mix well
Mix well, ensuring the lamb is evenly coated.
Marinate
Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Do not marinate lamb for more than 1 hour as it may become too tender.

Cooking Process
Searing the Lamb
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the lamb cubes. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Infusing the Rosemary
Lower the heat to medium; add the sliced onions and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until onions are golden.
Adding the Spiced Butter
Add the spiced butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the lamb. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and stir well.
