Instructions

  1. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the beef pieces in batches and cook 2-3 minutes per side to brown them. Remove to a bowl and set aside.
  3. Heat the remaining oil to the pan along with niter kibbeh.
  4. Add the onion and chilies and cook for 5 minutes to soften.
  5. Add the garlic, ginger, and berbere spice blend and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
  6. Add the tomato sauce and chopped tomato. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  7. Return the cooked beef to the pan and simmer to cook through, about 10 minutes.
  8. Serve with injera.

Notes

  • Serve on top of injera, or with injera on the side.
  • Use your favorite cut of beef or lamb. Many recipes call for leaner cuts, such as round or sirloin, though I love it with tender ribeye or flavorful tri-tip.
