Step 1
Mince the very cold beef very finely by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor until it resembles coarse ground meat.
Step 2
Gently warm the niter kibbeh in a small saucepan over low heat, ~2 minutes, until it softens slightly.
Step 3
Place the minced beef in a bowl. Drizzle with warm niter kibbeh and sprinkle mitmita powder evenly over the top.

Add minced ginger, cilantro, and lime juice. Fold gently with a spoon until just combined; do not overwork.
