🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe
Kitfo
Kitfo is Ethiopia's celebrated raw beef delicacy, often described as Ethiopian steak tartare but distinguished by its unique seasoning of mitmita chili powder and warm niter kibbeh spiced butter. Traditionally served leb leb (lightly warmed) or completely raw (tere), it is a dish of elegant simplicity that relies entirely on the quality of its ingredients.
