Kitfo

Prepare the Meat

In a large bowl, combine the minced or ground beef with salt, black pepper, and Berbere spice mix. Mix well.

Cook the Kitfo

In a skillet, heat the clarified butter (niter kibbeh) over medium heat.

Add the seasoned beef to the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. The beef should be just warmed through but still raw (rare) for traditional Kitfo. If you prefer it cooked more, continue to cook until it reaches your desired doneness.

Add Fenugreek (Optional)

Stir in the ground fenugreek if using, and cook for an additional minute.

Serve

Garnish with chopped fresh mint leaves if desired.
