Ingredients

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.
