Zigni is an authentic Ethiopian dish typically made with beef. To make it, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 lbs Beef (chuck or round), cubed
- 1 large Onion, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Berbere spice mix (Ethiopian chili powder mixture)
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Water
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Now, you can follow these steps for cooking Zigni:
- Combine the cubed beef with salt, pepper, and a few tablespoons of Berbere spice mix in a large bowl. Marinate this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic, sautรฉing until they become soft and fragrant (approx. 5-6 minutes).
Transfer the marinated beef into the pot, ensuring it gets evenly coated with the onion mixture. Cook until the beef browns slightly.
Stir in the remaining Berbere spice mix and cook for an additional minute to allow flavors to develop.
Add water to the pot and stir well to combine everything together. Cover the pot, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the beef is tender (approx. 1 hour). Stir occasionally.
Once the beef is cooked, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot alongside traditional Ethiopian injera bread or over rice. Enjoy!
