Sega wat

(Siga wat, Tsebhi sga, ስጋ ወጥ, ጸብሒ ስጋ)

Sega wat or tsebhi sga is a traditional dish from Ethiopia and Eritrea and a type of wat. In order to prepare it, onions are sautéed in niter kibbeh clarified butter, followed by ginger, garlic, cardamom, berbere spices, and beef broth. Once the sauce has developed a thick consistency, browned beef pieces are added to the pot and the dish is simmered until the liquid is reduced and the sauce becomes very thick.


Sega wat is traditionally served hot with injera flatbread or rice on the side. If desired, hard-boiled eggs can be added to the stew to make it even richer, and it's believed that the dish tastes even better the next day, when the flavors have had more time to blend together.
