Preparation

Marinating the Beef

Prepare the sauce

Combine the Awaze sauce ingredients in a bowl.

Marinate the beef

Add the thinly sliced beef into the bowl and mix with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Rest

Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Ensure you allow the beef to marinate fully to maximize flavor penetration.

Preparing the Vegetables

Heat oil

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté onion

Sauté red onion until translucent.

Cook vegetables

Add bell pepper and carrot, cooking until just tender.

Avoid overcooking the vegetables to maintain a slight crunch for texture contrast.

Cooking Process

Cooking the Beef

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated beef until just done, about 5-7 minutes.

Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution when cooking the beef.

Warming the Flatbreads

Slightly warm each injera or flatbread on a dry pan for added pliability.

Rolling the Wraps

Place a portion of the beef and vegetables in each flatbread and roll tightly.
