Seasoned dried beef sautéed with house spices, seasoned oil, spiced butter, berbere sauce and mix with pieces of injera

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

Prepare the Dried 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.

Cook the Beef

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.

Add Spices

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

Incorporate Niter Kibbeh

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.

Combine with Injera

Serve warm, garnished with additional berbere spice if desired.
