Greek Lamb Giouvetsi | Tender Lamb with Orzo Pasta

Cut the lamb into bite-sized, approx. 3 cm cubes, then pat thoroughly dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

Heat 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a deep, ovenproof skillet or cast-iron pot. Add the lamb cubes and sear over high heat for 6-8 minutes until golden brown all over, then transfer to a plate.

Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the remaining fat. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
