Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

2. 2

   Pulse the onion in a mini-chopper or blender until almost pureed.

3. 3

   Melt butter in a heat proof Dutch oven and brown the stew meat, for about 10 minutes. Add the onion the last few minutes.

4. 4

   Add the fresh ginger, paprika, cayenne, cumin, fenugreek, turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and allspice. Stir mixture until fragrant, approximately 1 more minute.

5. 5

   Add the tomatoes and wine. Cover, bring to a "medium" simmer and place in oven for approximately 2 hours. If stew looks like it may be drying out, add a little bit of water or broth, about 1/2 cup at a time. Stew is done when meat can be easily pierced with a fork.

6. 6

   Just before serving, season with salt and pepper.
