Siga Wat (Beef Wat)
Slow-cooked beef stew in a rich berbere and onion sauce, the everyday version of wat.
Why It Works
The technique mirrors doro wat but beef's deeper flavor stands up to the spice better in casual cooking; cubed beef braises to tenderness while absorbing the concentrated onion sauce.
