Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine the beef strips with the minced garlic,
grated ginger, berbere spice blend, paprika, ground cumin, ground
coriander, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the
beef evenly with the spices.
2. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the
refrigerator.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high
heat.
4. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until they turn golden
brown and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Push the onions to one side of the skillet and add the marinated beef
strips to the other side.
6. Cook the beef for about 3-4 minutes per side until it is browned and
cooked to your desired level of doneness.
7. Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and stir-fry for an
additional 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still crisp.
8. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper if needed.
9. Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Zilzil Tibs to a serving
platter.
10. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
