Ingredients

Check you have the quantities below.

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef strips or cubed lamb, 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 to 2 green chili, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons niter kibbeh or butter
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

Let’s make it

  1. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add meat and sear for 4 minutes.
  2. Add onion and cook 5 minutes more.
  3. Stir in garlic, chili, rosemary, salt, pepper, and water. Cook 8 to 12 minutes until the meat reaches 63 C/145 F and the pan is fairly dry.
  4. Serve hot, traditionally on a hot pan or plate with injera.

Serve the chili on the side and cut the meat into smaller pieces for easier eating.

Cooking time varies with equipment and batch size. Follow school allergy rules for children’s meals; keep perishable lunches cold.
