• Cook the beef pieces without moving for about 3 minutes, or until they are seared on one side.
• Turn the pieces of meat over with kitchen tongs, and cook on the other side until seared.
• Continue to cook the meat, stirring and turning the pieces occasionally until the desired sear is reached.
• Mix the beef with the reserved sauce, and finally add the lemon juice and cilantro, and mix well..

ETHIOPIAN AWAZE BEEF TIBS RECIPE

Steps:

• Purée or mash the fresh ginger and garlic into a paste.
• In a bowl, mix together the steak, onion, rosemary, ginger, garlic, berebere and salt. Place a pan on medium heat. Add the oil and butter. When the pan is hot, place the spiced meat and onion mixture into the hot pan and cook for about 5 minutes. PRO TIP: Do not stir the meat right away. Let it sit in the hot pan for the first couple of minutes to brown on the bottom. Also, make sure you use a wide-enough pan so the meat does not steam. Steaming also prevents browning.
• Add ½ cup water and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste for seasoning. Add fresh chopped tomatoes if desired. Serve with rice, or with injera (which can be purchased from a local Ethiopian market).
