How To Fry Diced Lamb (Step By Step)

• Step one - Grab your nonstick frying pan and add your olive oil for hot frying.
• Step two - Season with salt before frying then drop your piece of meat into the heat oil which should be at medium-high heat, you want the meat sizzling when it makes contact with the pan.
• Step three - Wait for moisture and meat juices to appear on the upper side of the meat then turn the diced lamb over and fry on medium heat on the other side. 
• Step four - If you want your lamb chunks well done then turn them over at least two times during cooking, but for medium-rare just turn once until cooked. 
• Step five - You can test the cooking times of your diced lamb with tongs, for example, rare bits will be springy when pressed and well-done lamb chunks will be hard when pressed.
