This curry dish may sound foreign to you, but it’s incredibly easy to make. You just create a “berbere” (a spice blend made with cardamom, chile peppers, garlic, ginger and fenugreek), cook the onions, add the meat and some liquid and let it sit for several hours.
INGREDIENTS
SERVES 3
- 1/2 tsp Spices, cardamom
- 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, Ground
- 1/2 tsp Spices, cloves, ground
- 1/4 tsp Ground Coriander
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Fenugreek
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 medium White Onion
- 1 tsp Fresh Ginger Root
- 3 oz Tomato Paste
- 1 lb raw beef chuck
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 2 cups Beef Broth, Low Sodium
