Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.

  2. Step 2

    Sear beef cubes 2 minutes per side without stirring — edges should be browned. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add cauliflower to the same skillet, cook 3 minutes stirring occasionally until edges char.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in ginger and garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant — don't let it burn.

  5. Step 5

    Add berbere, tomato paste, and vinegar; stir to coat. Return beef to skillet.

  6. Step 6

    Add 1/4 cup water, stir, and simmer 2 minutes until sauce coats the beef. Taste and adjust salt.

Tools you’ll need
