Ingredients

• 350 g Lean beef sirloin
• 40 g Unsalted butter
• 1 tsp Mitmita spice blend
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 5 g Ginger
• 100 g Injera bread
• 80 g Fresh greens (collard or spinach)
• 0.5 whole Lemon

Method

1. 1

   Use high-quality, very fresh beef sirloin. Finely mince the beef by hand or pulse briefly in a food processor, keeping the texture chunky rather than paste-like. Set aside on a clean plate.

2. 2

   Melt butter in a small pan. Mince garlic and ginger very finely and add to the butter. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in mitmita spice and remove from heat.

3. 3

   If using raw collard greens, thinly slice them. Alternatively, blanch fresh greens in salted water for 2 minutes, drain well, and lightly sauté in a small amount of butter.

4. 4

   For raw kitfo: Mix minced beef gently with spiced butter and lemon juice. Serve immediately on injera. For lightly seared: Heat a heavy skillet over high heat and sear the beef mixture for 30 seconds per side until just browned on outside, meat remains pink inside.

5. 5

   Arrange injera on a plate. Top with kitfo mixture in the centre. Surround with fresh or cooked greens. Serve with additional lemon wedges on the side.
