Sear & Crisp: Break up the lamb with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 7 to 9 minutes until fully browned and cooked through. Allow some of the edges to press flat against the skillet so they get crisp and slightly charred, mimicking street-cart gyro meat. Remove from heat and drain excess fat if desired.
