Step 1
Season the 1 lb beef with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 sliced onion. Cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add 1 sliced green bell pepper and 2 tsp berbere spice. Stir and cook until the pepper is tender-crisp, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Add 1 chopped tomato and cook until it breaks down into a light sauce, about 2 minutes.
Step 6
Return the beef to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook until the beef is warmed through and coated, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Step 7
Optional: add minced garlic or ginger with the onion for extra depth.
