What it is
Diced beef, often from leaner cuts, pan-fried until well-browned and slightly crispy, seasoned intensely with berbere and other dry spices. It's a drier preparation compared to 'tibs' and focuses on the meat's texture and spice blend.
Key ingredients
Beef, berbere spice, garlic, ginger, salt, niter kibbeh (optional, for frying).
Optional tweaks
Ensure no tomatoes or high-carb vegetables are added. Best served as is, without injera.
Watch out for
Potential hidden sugars in berbere, minimal carb contribution from garlic/ginger.
