Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 2 lamb shanks and sear, turning with tongs every 2–3 minutes, until deeply browned on all sides, about 10–12 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 2 shanks. Set all 4 shanks aside.
