Description

This Ethiopian-inspired dish delivers a robust and aromatic experience, perfect for those who enjoy bold, savory flavors. The combination of tender sirloin strips, fresh green chiles, and a complex blend of spices like cardamom, turmeric, and cloves creates a rich, warming sauce that is both comforting and exciting. The addition of red wine adds depth, while the onions and bell peppers provide a sweet, caramelized counterpoint to the heat. Ideal for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special gathering, this recipe brings the authentic taste of African cuisine to your home kitchen. Serve it over injera or rice for a complete, satisfying meal that invites everyone to the table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Seed and finely chop the 6 skinned green chiles.
  2. Peel and mince the fresh ginger and garlic.
  3. In a blender or food processor, puree the green chiles, ginger, garlic, cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, and red wine until a smooth paste forms.
  4. Cut the 2 lb sirloin steak into 1/2-inch wide strips.
  5. Chop the onions and cut the bell peppers into strips matching the size of the beef.
  6. Heat 6 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the beef strips to the hot oil and brown evenly on all sides.
  8. Remove the browned beef from the pan and set aside on a plate.
  9. Drain the cooking oil, leaving only 2 tablespoons in the pan.
  10. Add the chopped onions to the remaining oil and sauté until soft but not browned.
  11. Add the bell pepper strips and sauté for an additional 3 minutes.
  12. Pour the chile-spice puree into the pan with the vegetables and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  13. Return the beef strips to the pan and stir until well coated with the sauce.
  14. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the flavors have melded.
