Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear beef cubes 2 minutes per side without stirring — edges should be browned. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add cauliflower to the same skillet, cook 3 minutes stirring occasionally until edges char.
Step 4
Stir in ginger and garlic, cook 30 seconds until fragrant — don't let it burn.
Step 5
Add berbere, tomato paste, and vinegar; stir to coat. Return beef to skillet.
Step 6
Add 1/4 cup water, stir, and simmer 2 minutes until sauce coats the beef. Taste and adjust salt.
