The Method

1
Prepare the beef: Using a sharp knife, cut the beef into small, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/2 inch).
2
Marinate the beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the cubed beef with the Awaze sauce. Add mitmita and korerima to taste, if using. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated.
3
Serve immediately: Arrange the marinated beef on a serving platter. Serve immediately with injera bread. Each person can scoop the beef with the injera.
4
Awaze Sauce (optional - if making your own): Combine berbere (2 tablespoons), garlic (2 cloves, minced), ginger (1 teaspoon, minced), Ethiopian cardamom (1/4 teaspoon, ground), Tesmi/Niter kibbeh (1 tablespoon, clarified butter), and Tej (honey wine or sweet red wine, 1/4 cup). Mix well to form a thick paste. Adjust the amount of berbere to your desired spice level. This makes a smaller batch. Multiply as needed to achieve 1/2 cup total.
5
Safety Note: Consuming raw or undercooked meats may increase your risk of foodborne illness. Only use high-quality, very fresh beef from a reputable source.

Chef's Tips

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of berbere or mitmita used.

The Awaze sauce can be made a day ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.

Ensure the beef is very fresh and of the highest quality to minimize the risk of foodborne illness. Consider purchasing from a butcher you trust and informing them you intend to eat the beef raw.

Some people prefer to add a touch of Ethiopian butter (Niter Kibbeh) for a richer flavor.
