Lamb Tibs

Spiced Lamb Tibs with Yogurt Sauce

Kurt
"Tibs" are pan-fried, cubed beef or lamb. I've made this recipe as kebabs before, but I was making a larger amount today and didn't want to fuss with skewers and grilling. We served it with yogurt sauce and a Middle Eastern rice pilaf, and everyone loved it!
