Ethiopian Spiced Beef with Green Peppers and Tomato

Ingredients

• 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 2 tsp berbere spice
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the 1 lb beef with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 sliced onion. Cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Add 1 sliced green bell pepper and 2 tsp berbere spice. Stir and cook until the pepper is tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Add 1 chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down into a light sauce, about 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Return the beef to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook until the beef is warmed through and coated, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

7. 7

   Optional: add minced garlic or ginger with the onion for extra depth.
