Tibs is one of the best loved dishes of Ethiopian cuisine and appears at nearly every family celebration. The aroma is intense. Pieces of beef are seared quickly in clarified butter with onion, garlic and fiery berbere spice, so the meat stays juicy inside and beautifully browned outside. It is traditionally served straight on soft injera flatbread, from which the dish is scooped up by hand. At home a single hot pan and barely half an hour are all you need.

Step by step process

Preparing the ingredients

1
Prepare the tibs from good beef: cut the meat into 2×2 cm cubes, season lightly with salt and set aside. Slice the onion into half-rings, press the garlic, cut the green pepper into strips and quarter the tomatoes. Keep everything ready.
2
In a large pan or wok, heat the sunflower oil together with the butter over high heat. The pan must be truly hot so the meat sears rather than stews.

Sauteing

3
Add the meat and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring vigorously over high heat until it browns on all sides. Add the onion and saute for another 3 minutes.
4
Stir in the pressed garlic, ground hot paprika and ground cumin. Saute for 2 minutes while stirring constantly, then add the green pepper and tomatoes. Cook for another 2 minutes, season with salt to taste and serve the hot dish right away over injera or with rice. It tastes best fresh.
