2 set 1 tbsp rawspicebar's freshly ground berbere
3 set 1 lb stewing beef, cut into 1 inch cubes
4 set 2 tbsp canola oil, separated
5 set 1 onions, diced
6 set 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • Add RawSpiceBar's Berbere & Mitmita spices and sugar to onions and garlic, cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Add chopped tomatoes to mixture, combine until tomatoes brown, about 3-5 minutes. Add beef stock and beef and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to simmer.
  • Simmer the beef for at least an hour, up to two. Remove beef from the cooking liquid and shred it by pulling the chunks apart with two forks. Add beef back to the stock mixture and simmer for another 15 minutes.
  • Serve with injera, couscous or butternut squash mash (see RawSpiceBar's monthly blog for recipes).

I'm not a fan of stews, but this one was actually pretty good. The flavors were well-balanced and the beef was tender.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less berbere next time.

I thought this dish was okay, but it wasn't anything special. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as flavorful as I hoped. Maybe I didn't use enough berbere?

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some steak tips that I didn't know what to do with, and this dish turned out amazing.

I was a bit hesitant to try this dish because I'm not a big fan of spicy food. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors balanced each other out.

The use of berbere is what really sets this dish apart. It gives it a unique flavor that's both spicy and aromatic.

This is easily one of the most flavorful stews I've made. The berbere blend really shines, and the beef was fork-tender.
