Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red onions (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 tablespoons spiced butter ((niter kibbeh))
3 tablespoons berbere
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 pounds chuck roast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until water evaporates, about 10 minutes, taking care not to burn them. You may need to reduce the heat as the onions dry out. Add spiced butter and simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, cardamom, and berbere. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, adding enough broth to make a thick sauce.
  • In a medium skillet brown beef with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Add beef to the sauce and simmer over very low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the sauce is very thick. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve hot with rice or injera.

Ethiopian Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce image

For a complete Ethiopian feast, make this dish with (other recipes from my book): - Lentils of Doom - Cabbage of Ostracism - Tofu Dorowat (if you like tofu, or are accommodating a vegetarian... chicken otherwise) Making these four dishes together, you can: - Pick up one large white onion and chop it finely. Split it four ways between the dishes. - Pick up one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and split it between the Dorowat and Beef Stew Start the beef early, then the dorowat. Then, do the lentils (assuming pre-cooked potatoes) and cabbage. Pick up some Enjera (that amazing yummy bread). Live in Calgary? Pick it up fresh at Amy's Confectionery on 7th between 11AM and 5PM. YUM!

Tips for Making Ethiopian Beef Stew in Spicy Berbere Sauce:

- To make the most flavorful stew, choose high-quality cuts of beef. Look for tender cuts like chuck roast, sirloin tip, or short ribs. - For a more authentic flavor, use a traditional Ethiopian spice blend called berbere. This spice blend is made with a variety of spices, including chili peppers, paprika, garlic, and ginger. - If you don't have berbere on hand, you can substitute a mixture of chili powder, cumin, and paprika. - Ethiopian stews are typically served with a flatbread called injera. Injera is made from teff flour and has a slightly sour flavor. - To make injera, you will need a special griddle called a mitad. If you don't have a mitad, you can use a large skillet or griddle. - Once you have made your stew and injera, serve them together with a variety of side dishes. Some popular side dishes include lentils, collard greens, and salad. ###
