Working with a very hot pan or work, stir fry the onions in 2 tbsp of either the butter or oil. Fry until soft and translucent and slightly carmelized. Add the berbere spice mix and chopped tomatoes to the onions and simmer for 15 minutes. Set aside until needed.
In another hot pan, add the (butter or oil) and sirloin meat, quickly browning the meat over high heat. You may want to do this in two batches.
Once the meat has browned; add the garlic and chilies and fry for 30 - 45 seconds. Now add in the tomato and onion mixture, salt and wine, mix well, and simmer 5 - 10 minutes; if the stew looks dry, add a little water.
