A rather spicy beef dish, extremely fattening, but delicious! You can reduce the amount of "spicy", by cutting down on the Berbere. It's best eaten with Injera, but pita bread will work.

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds beef, cut into cubes
1-1/2 red onions, chopped
1 pound Niter Kebbeh, spiced butter
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black cumin
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup red wine
2 cups water
Salt, to taste

Cook the onions without any grease until golden. Add the Niter Kebbeh. Add the Berbere and the wine and stir.

Brown the beef in a separate pan. Add the meat to the onions and stir. Add water, spices, and salt. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is a nice consistency.

NOTE - The sauce will be too liquid when hot, it will be more like a sauce when it cools down.

Serve with Injera.
