Easy Ethiopian Beef Tibs

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds of beef (chopped into cubes)
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp of grated ginger
• 3 garlic cloves (crushed or grated)
• 1 red onion ( sliced)
• 2 tbsp of berbere
• 3 tomatoes (chopped)
• 3 jalapenos (chopped)
• 1/3 cup of niter kibbeh or ghee
• 1 tsp of dried rosemary or a sprig of fresh rosemary
• 1 tbsp of vegetable oil

Instructions

1. 1

   Chop the beef into medium chunks and remove any extra fat to make the meat less oily.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, heat some vegetable oil over high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef and put it in the hot oil. Stir occasionally until all sides are browned.

3. 3

   Lower the heat to medium and add the ginger and garlic to the same skillet. Mix with the beef for a few minutes or until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the red onion and berbere seasoning. Stir for another few minutes, making sure the beef and onion are covered with the seasoning. Add the tomatoes and combine everything. Let it cook for about 7-10 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and juicy. This will form a thick sauce for the stew.

5. 5

   Add the jalapenos for more heat and flavor. Mix them in and try the sauce.

6. 6

   Add the niter kibbeh, dried rosemary or fresh rosemary sprigs. Mix everything well and let it simmer for a few more minutes until the beef is done and tender. Serve your stew hot with some injera, rice or bread.
