A flavorful and comforting Ethiopian-inspired ground beef stew seasoned with berbere spice, aromatics, and served with injera bread.
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon, until browned.
Drain off any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
Stir in the berbere spice blend and tomato paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices.
Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the flavors have melded.
Serve hot with injera bread.

For a richer flavor, use a good quality beef broth.
Adjust the amount of berbere spice to your preference. Be careful, as some blends can be quite spicy.
You can add other vegetables to the stew, such as diced potatoes, carrots, or green beans.
If you don't have injera bread, you can serve the stew with rice or couscous.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
