How do you learn new vocabulary on Anki?

I recently created an Anki deck to learn new English words. I fill it every time I encounter a word I don't know

The front is the word, back is its definition in English, with the sentence where I found it as an example. I do this to force myself not to translate (the word doesn't exist in my native language, I generally just don't want to rely on a translation anyway). However, learning definitions is pretty boring, and I feel like I'm learning the definition instead of the word, if that makes sense My goal with this deck is that I won't need to check the dictionary or a translator anymore when I come across that word, it'll just feel like any other word I naturally know. So, how do you learn new words on Anki? What would you recommend I do differently?

Note: My level is B2+, so the new words I put are complex or specific most of the time
