Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons ghee (or butter)
1½ cups finely chopped onion ((about 1 large onion) )
1 tablespoon crushed ginger-garlic (1/2 inch ginger + 2 cloves garlic OR 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder + 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 teaspoon salt (if using berbere blend, check for salt in ingredients)
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons berbere seasoning (add 1-1½ for mild (see substitute below))
1 tablespoon fried onions (optional - adds a deep color)
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 cup water (divided)
1½ lbs beef stew meat ((cut in 1-inch pieces))
½ teaspoon sugar
salt (to taste (depends on salt content in berbere spice mix))
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon turmeric powder
1½ tablespoons coriander powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon paprika ((if using smoked - reduce to 2 teaspoon))
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garam masala

Steps:

  • Turn the Instant Pot on Sauté mode. Wait 30 seconds till the inner pot is hot and add ghee or butter. Add chopped onion, ginger-garlic and salt and cook till slightly caramelized, about one minute.
  • Add fried onions, tomato paste, berbere seasoning, ground coriander and 1/4 cup water, stir well and cook for one minute.
  • Add the remaining water and beef cubes. Press "Cancel", close the lid and set valve to 'Sealing' position. Press Meat/Stew, 30 minutes. Wait for natural release of pressure.
  • Open the lid and check for seasoning. Add sugar. This is optional, but highly recommended. If you like to thicken the curry, turn on saute and simmer the stew for 3-5 minutes until it reduces to your desired consistency. Serve with the traditional sourdough flatbread, injera.
  • Heat a heavy bottom sauce pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Wait 30 seconds till the pot is hot and add ghee or butter. Add chopped onion, ginger-garlic and salt and cook till slightly caramelized, about one minute.
  • Add fried onions, tomato paste, berbere seasoning, ground coriander and 1/4 cup water, stir well and cook for one minute.
  • Add the remaining water and beef cubes. Cover and cook for 35-45 minutes, stirring every 5-7 minutes or so, till the meat is fork tender.
  • Uncover and check for seasoning. Add sugar. This is optional, but highly recommended. The pinch of sugar brings together all the warm spices in the stew. Serve with the traditional sourdough flatbread, injera.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 red onions (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
4 tablespoons spiced butter ((niter kibbeh))
3 tablespoons berbere
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
2 pounds chuck roast (cut into 1-inch cubes)
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon salt or to taste

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until water evaporates, about 10 minutes, taking care not to burn them. You may need to reduce the heat as the onions dry out. Add spiced butter and simmer on low for about 5 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, cardamom, and berbere. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, adding enough broth to make a thick sauce.
  • In a medium skillet brown beef with 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil. Add beef to the sauce and simmer over very low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is reduced and the sauce is very thick. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve hot with rice or injera.

BEEF STEW IN BERBERE SAUCE



Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce image

Exotic Ethiopian flavors! From Sunset Magazine March 2006. For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of cayenne from one tablespoon to one or two teaspoons. If you have any Ethiopian Tej honey wine on hand, use it in place of the dry red wine in this recipe. (Honey mead would work, too.) This makes the house smells heavenly!

1 large white onion, chopped coarsely
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cayenne (read intro)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cardamom

salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

  • Add the tomatoes and wine. Cover, bring to a "medium" simmer and place in oven for approximately 2 hours. If stew looks like it may be drying out, add a little bit of water or broth, about 1/2 cup at a time. Stew is done when meat can be easily pierced with a fork.
