Instructions

1. 1.
   In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and oregano. Whisk them together until you have a smooth marinade. The acidity of the lemon juice will tenderize the lamb, while the honey adds a subtle sweetness. Letting this mixture rest for a minute will help the flavors meld together nicely.
2. 2.
   Add the lamb cubes to the bowl, ensuring each piece is well coated with the marinade. Use your hands or a spoon to turn the lamb, covering it evenly. Allow the lamb to marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally up to 30 minutes if time permits, for maximum flavor.
3. 3.
   Preheat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 10 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
4. 4.
   Place the skewers on the hot grill pan. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the lamb is browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Look for a golden-brown crust forming on each piece. Adjust the heat if the honey causes the lamb to brown too quickly.
5. 5.
   Remove the skewers from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring tender and juicy lamb. If the lamb appears underdone, return it to the grill briefly, checking frequently to prevent overcooking.
