Zilzil Alecha - Ethiopian Beef

Basically you'll need good beef, butter, onions, green peppers & hot peppers, and some spices. I like to use sirloin beef from Aldi (which seems to be much thicker and more tender than your average grocery store thin steak - don't laugh!). Dice the onions & green peppers, and assemble the spices.

Put 2 of the green peppers, a hot pepper, some garlic and the spices (mainly turmeric), and wine in a blender.

Melt butter in a saute pan, and brown the beef.

Separating beef & fat to get pan ready for onions:

Dry fry the chopped onions, then add the sliced green peppers and the contents of the blender. Add beef after the green peppers are the consistency you like.

Saute for a few minutes until the sauce is warmed through, and then serve upon a dish of jasmine rice (I added turmeric to my rice while it was in the rice cooker).
