🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe

Zilzil Tibs

Zilzil Tibs takes the classic Ethiopian tibs preparation and elevates it by cutting the beef into long, thin strips that develop wonderfully crispy edges when seared at high heat. The name zilzil refers to the strip-cut style, which maximizes the surface area for caramelization while keeping the interior juicy and tender.
