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
