Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches if needed, sear beef without stirring until edges brown, ~90 seconds per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, sauté ginger and berbere 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Add red onion and jalapeño. Stir-fry 3 minutes until onion softens and edges begin to char.
Step 6
Return beef to the skillet with any juices. Toss gently with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Serve warm over injera.
