👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Prepare the Beef: Ensure your beef is of the highest quality and extremely fresh. Trim any excess silverskin but leave some fat on for flavor. Cut the beef into uniform, bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 inches). Place the cubed beef in a clean mixing bowl.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Combine Spices: In a separate small bowl, mix the berbere spice blend with the salt and optional black pepper. If your niter kibbeh has solidified, gently warm it until just melted. Do not overheat.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 3
Dress the Beef: Pour the warmed niter kibbeh over the beef cubes in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle the berbere spice mixture evenly over the beef. Gently toss everything together with your hands or a spoon, ensuring each piece of beef is well-coated with the spiced butter and spices.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 4
Quick Sear (Optional): For those who prefer a lightly cooked exterior while keeping the inside rare, heat a skillet over high heat until very hot. Add the seasoned beef in a single layer and sear for about 1-2 minutes per side, stirring constantly, until browned but still pink inside. This step is brief to maintain the raw quality of the meat. If serving completely raw, skip this step.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Serve Immediately: Transfer the Gored Gored to a serving platter. Serve immediately while still warm, accompanied by fresh injera and lemon wedges on the side, if desired. The injera is used to scoop up the meat and its flavorful juices.

✨ 创意变奏
为您的创意版本提供灵感
- For a slightly different flavor profile, some recipes incorporate a small amount of finely minced red onion or jalapeño into the mix just before serving.
- While traditionally served raw or very lightly seared, some variations involve cooking the beef for a bit longer to achieve a medium or well-done finish, though this deviates from the classic preparation.
