Sizzling beef with sweet peppers and spiced butter, finished bright and hot.
Ingredients
- 300 g Beef Sirloin
- 1 pcs Red Onion
- 1 pcs Jalapeno
- 2 pcs Garlic
- 10 g Ginger
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 0.25 tsp Cardamom
- 0.25 tsp Fenugreek
- 0.25 tsp Turmeric
- 0.25 tsp Oregano
- 1 tbsp Berbere
- 1 tsp Rosemary
- 1.75 tsp Kosher Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 pcs Lemon
- 2 pcs Injera
Method
- Pat {beef_sirloin} dry, then slice into bite-size strips. Season all over with {kosher_salt}, {black_pepper}, and {berbere} so the surface sears instead of steaming.
- Thinly slice {red_onion} and {jalapeno}, then mince {garlic} and {ginger} so they cook fast and evenly in the hot pan.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt {butter} with {cardamom}, {fenugreek}, {turmeric}, and {oregano}. Simmer gently until fragrant and the milk solids settle, then keep the spiced butter warm.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add {butter}, then sear {beef_sirloin} in a single layer without crowding, turning for deep browned edges in batches if needed. Transfer off the heat as soon as the beef is just cooked through.
- Lower to medium heat in the same skillet. Add {red_onion} with a pinch of {kosher_salt} and cook until softened and lightly caramelized. Stir in {jalapeno}, {garlic}, {ginger}, and {rosemary}; cook until glossy and fragrant, then bloom the remaining {berbere} briefly in the fat.
- Return {beef_sirloin} and any juices to the skillet and toss over medium heat until coated and sizzling. Taste and adjust with {kosher_salt}, then finish with a squeeze of {lemon} for brightness.
- Serve {beef_sirloin} hot with {injera}, spooning the pan juices over the top so the bread soaks up the spiced butter.
