How to Make YeSiga Ena YeAtkilit Shorba (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
- Place the potatoes and carrots in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 3 inches. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir and cook until they are al dente but not fully cooked or mushy, 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
- In a separate pot, sauté the diced onions in oil over medium heat until they are translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cubed beef to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked potatoes and carrots, diced tomatoes and their juice, and jalapeños to the pot. Cook, stirring continuously, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups of water and the ground coriander. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to warm everything through and combine the flavors.
- Stir in the flour and then add the milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, ensuring it stays at a boil.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then turn down the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and carrots are fully cooked, and the beef is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Serve the Ethiopian Potato and Beef Stew hot.
