Directions

Heat the niter kibbeh or butter in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and sauté until they become soft and translucent.

Add the minced garlic and stir for a minute until fragrant.

Stir in the berbere spice blend, paprika, cayenne pepper, cumin, cardamom, coriander, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and salt. Mix well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.

Add the beef cubes to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.

Pour the beef or vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring that the beef is fully submerged.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 1.5–2 hours or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.

Adjust the seasoning with salt and additional spices if desired.

Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley.
