Lega Tibs (Mild Beef Tibs)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Beef sirloin or tenderloin, cubed
• 4 tablespoons Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter)
• 2 medium Red onion, finely sliced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 1 medium Green bell pepper, sliced into strips
• 2 peppers Jalapeño peppers, deseeded and sliced (for mild flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Water or beef stock(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over medium-high heat until very hot.

2. 2

   Add the cubed beef to the dry pan in a single layer and sear until the edges are browned and the liquid has mostly evaporated.

3. 3

   Add the Niter Kibbeh to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the beef thoroughly.

4. 4

   Stir in the sliced onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and turn translucent.

5. 5

   Add the minced garlic and the fresh rosemary sprigs, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.

6. 6

   Toss in the green bell peppers and sliced jalapeños, cooking for another 2 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

7. 7

   Season with salt and black pepper; if the mixture is too dry, add a splash of water or stock to deglaze the pan.

8. 8

   Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving hot with fresh Injera bread.
