### A closer look at each part

**Sun-dried beef**

The beef has been dried before being used in this dish. Its texture differs from freshly sautéed cubes of meat.

**Berbere sauce**

Berbere is an Ethiopian chilli-spice seasoning, here used in the sauce. Taste a little first to judge the heat for yourself.

**Special butter and mixed spices**

Butter and the additional seasonings bring richness and aroma to the mixture.

**Injera**

Rolled bread appears around the food in the reference image. Tear off small pieces to gather the sauced mixture.
