Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Dried Beef

Soak the dried beef in water for about 30 minutes to soften. Drain and cut into small pieces.

2. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

3. Add Spices

Add the prepared dried beef to the skillet along with the berbere spice mix, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.

4. Incorporate Niter Kibbeh

Stir in the spiced butter (Niter Kibbeh) and allow it to melt and coat the beef mixture evenly.

5. Combine with Injera

Tear the injera into bite-sized pieces and gently mix them into the beef mixture, allowing the flavors to meld together. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

6. Serve

Serve warm, garnished with additional berbere spice if desired.
