Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oil (niter kibbeh if you have it) in a heavy pot over medium heat and sweat the onions slowly — ten minutes, until they collapse and sweeten.

2. 2

   Add the garlic and ginger paste and stir for a minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in the berbere and toast it in the oil for thirty seconds — dark, smoky, never burning.

4. 4

   Add the Beef and turn it through the spice base until every piece is stained rust-red.

5. 5

   Pour in a little water, cover, and simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until the Beef is tender and the sauce is thick and brick-coloured.

6. 6

   Finish with Niter Kibbeh and Garlic, adjust the salt, and serve with injera to scoop it all up.
