Bozena Shiro

This is the kind of Ethiopian dinner you’ll make on repeat — beef cubes and shiro powder, 40 minutes, big payoff. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 32 grams of protein per serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Beef cubes
• 1 cup Shiro powder
• 1 Red onion
• 2 tbsp Berbere
• 1/4 cup Niter kibbeh
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 3 cups Beef stock
• 1 tsp Salt

Steps

1. Brown the beef cubes hard in niter kibbeh, 8 minutes; set aside. The fond left behind flavors the shiro.
2. Soften the minced onion in the same pot 7 minutes; add the berbere, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes.
3. Whisk the shiro powder with cold stock into a slurry; pour in, whisking constantly. Simmer 10 minutes until thick.
4. Return the beef and simmer 12 minutes until tender and the shiro is rich and glossy.
5. Serve on injera. The best of both worlds — hearty beef folded into creamy shiro.
