1 kg lean topside meat

Mince the topside by hand. As in everything else in life, best results in the kitchen are achieved through maneuvering and hard work. And likewise the best testing Ketfo is a result of rather tiring work in the kitchen such as manually mincing the meat. So take the time to mince it manually, and as fine as possible.

Once you have the topside minced, melt the butter in a saucepan and mix it well with the mince, cardamom, chili blend and some salt. Some like it lightly cooked while others find it more delicious when it is not cooked at all. To enjoy the full taste of this popular Ethiopian dish, make sure you mix all the ingredients well; add some cottage cheese and chili blend as side dish and serve with Injera.
