Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven or saute pan (use one with a lid) with oil over medium heat. Add onions, ginger, garlic (portions for vegetables), and jalapenos. Saute for 4 minutes to soften slightly.

  2. To aromatics, add vegetable spice blend and saute until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Stir in carrots, potatoes, coleslaw mix, and stock. Reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and cook until potatoes and carrots are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (Remove the lid and stir the vegetables occasionally. If the pan starts to look dry and / or the vegetables start to stick, add water ¼ cup at a time.)

  4. When vegetables are nearly finished cooking, heat a large skillet with butter over medium-high heat. Add beef in a single layer and sear on one side until deep golden brown. Add Berbere spice, onions, ginger, and garlic (portions for beef). Continue to cook beef, turning to cook on all sides, until beef is cooked to your liking, ~4 minutes total for medium-rare, ~8 minutes total for medium-well.

  5. Remove beef from heat and stir in lemon juice.

  6. Warm flatbread.

  7. Taste vegetables and season with some more salt, if needed.

  8. Serve beef and vegetables with flatbread and hot sauce. Enjoy!
