Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add 1 lb beef sirloin cubes and 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper; sear for 3-4 minutes without stirring to develop a brown crust.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 large thinly sliced yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, stirring with the beef and cooking for 4-5 minutes until onions soften and beef is cooked to medium.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle 1.5 tbsp berbere spice over the mixture, stirring to coat evenly and cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Stir in 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil, then drizzle 1 tbsp lemon juice over the dish, tossing to combine.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and serve immediately, ideally with injera or steamed rice.
