Ababa Street Beef Bowls

This great recipe from Pitmaster Erica Roby is perfect when you need a filling bowl of beef. This berbere-spiced ribeye is served with onions, peppers, and cherry tomatoes over a bowl of white rice.

Cooking

  1. Prep & season. Toss the beef with berbere, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit while you prep vegetables.
  2. Sear the beef. Heat a large skillet over high heat with a bit of oil. Sear the beef until internal temperature reaches 145°F as measured by a meat thermometer. Remove and set aside.
    Grill Option: Smoke the ribeye on a pellet grill or smoker until desired internal temperature is reached. Use Oak wood to smoke.
  3. Cook vegetables. In the same pan, add onions and peppers. Cook just until slightly softened but still vibrant. Add tomatoes at the end so they stay fresh and juicy.
  4. Bring it together. Return beef to the pan. Toss everything together briefly. Turn off heat and immediately add lemon juice, herbs, and a drizzle of olive oil or spiced butter.
  5. Assemble bowls. Spoon over rice. Add extra herbs or a squeeze of lemon on top.
