Weeknight Ethiopian Stewed Beef Bake

Assemble the ingredients: beef, carrot, chili, yogurt, paprika, bay leaf, onion.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beef and cook until stewed.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Ethiopian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Ethiopian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
