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.
