1
Prepare the Beef
In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely minced beef with salt and mitmita spice blend. Mix well to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2
Melt the Kibbeh
In a small saucepan, gently melt the Ethiopian spiced butter (kibbeh) over low heat. Do not allow it to boil. Once melted, remove from heat.
3
Mix the Beef with Kibbeh
Pour the melted kibbeh over the spiced beef mixture. Use a fork or your hands to mix everything together until the beef is well coated with the melted butter.
4
Prepare Gomen (if using)
If you are using gomen, wash and chop the collard greens. In a separate pot, steam or sauté the collard greens until they are tender. Season with salt, if desired.
5
Serve
To serve, place the kitfo on a large platter. If using, arrange the cooked gomen alongside the kitfo. Serve with pieces of injera for scooping up the meat and greens.
