Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Place the finely minced beef in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure the beef is as finely minced as possible for the best texture.
2
Add the mitmita, salt, cardamom powder, and black pepper to the beef.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adjust the amount of mitmita to your preferred spice level.
3
Pour the melted niter kibbeh over the seasoned beef.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Niter kibbeh is essential for authentic flavor; ensure it's warm but not sizzling hot.
4
Using clean hands or a spoon, thoroughly mix all ingredients until well combined and the beef is evenly coated.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: The warmth from the niter kibbeh will slightly 'cook' the beef, especially if serving rare.
5
If serving 'terak kitfo' (raw), proceed to plating. If serving 'leb leb kitfo' (rare), heat a pan over medium heat.
6
Add the kitfo mixture to the warm pan and stir continuously for 2-3 minutes until the beef is just warmed through and lightly browned on the outside, but still pink inside.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcook the beef for 'leb leb' style; it should remain tender and moist.
7
For fully cooked kitfo, continue to cook and stir for 5-7 minutes until the beef is cooked through to your desired doneness.
Aproximativ 7 min.
8
Serve the kitfo immediately on a large platter or individual plates.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
Accompany with injera, and optionally, a side of ayib (cottage cheese) and gomen (sautéed collard greens).
Aproximativ 1 min.
