Kitfo Dulet Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Using a sharp knife, finely mince the extra lean beef until it reaches a tartare-like consistency. Place the minced beef in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Season the Beef

    Add the mitmita spice mix, salt, and berbere spice mix (to taste) to the minced beef. Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Melt the Spiced Butter

    In a small saucepan, gently melt the Ethiopian spiced butter (kibe) over low heat. Do not let it boil.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the butter is melted, pour it over the seasoned minced beef. Add the freshly chopped parsley and green onions. Mix well to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Kitfo Dulet immediately with a piece of injera on the side. Optionally, you can serve it with additional spices or sauces.
