From the kitchen
Shoulder, not leg. The fat is what makes tibs, and a lean cut gives you dry cubes
Dry the meat and then leave it alone for the first two minutes. Stirring early is how you end up with grey lamb
Some of the fat renders out and becomes the sauce. Do not drain it off
Mitmita belongs on the side, not in the pan. It scorches
