Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice beef sirloin into thin strips across the grain and season with salt and berbere spice.

  2. 2

    Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet or wok over high heat until smoking hot.

  3. 3

    Add beef strips in a single layer and sear without moving for 2 minutes to develop deep caramelization, then flip and brown for 1 more minute.

  4. 4

    Toss in sliced red onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and fresh rosemary sprigs, stir-frying over high heat for 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add diced fresh tomato and cook for 2 minutes until the tomato softens and forms a light glaze around the beef.

  6. 6

    Discard the woody rosemary stem and serve immediately piping hot.

Berbere spice blend is the signature Ethiopian chili-spice mix.
