Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound beef sirloin cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon berbere spice blend
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)
  • Injera or rice for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the beef pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the berbere spice blend, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the beef. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the spices.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and lemon juice, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, alongside injera or rice.

Notes

  • For a milder version, reduce the amount of berbere spice blend or use a mild chili powder.
  • You can also substitute the beef with chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
  • For added flavor, consider marinating the beef in the spices and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.
