hey everybody my name is chef marcus samson from the red rooster today i’m really honored to be here as part of black history month we’re gonna do tips tips it’s a traditional ethiopian dish that can be made with either beef or lamb tips is also a great dish you can find late at night so a couple of main components that you need with tips first of all you need injera bread like a sourdough pancake this goes on the bottom of the plate stir fry goes on top of it and then you break small pieces like this and you scoop it all up as i cook it’s gonna all make sense spice butter is something that we use almost in all ethiopian cooking the key thing with the spice butter is obviously butter right but it’s the ingredients that we add to it so onion that we cook off i have garlic add ginger cumin you get the point we’re really going to flavor this butter have both oregano and cardamom turmeric and fenugreek and make lots of it this butter will never go bad it can flavor enhance any dish you make sometimes people put in their hair some people put it on the skin and sometimes people even put it in coffee as the butter is separating to clarify it you want to skim it and it looks like this and this is basically the milk product here that you want to separate this allows it for you to cook it on much higher heat the color should look really bright and yellow older this butter you get just like a wine it gets better and better to make this tips you need a little bit of greens we’re just going to chop it down you want something that stands up against the rich beef and the rich butter i’m ethiopian but i’m really sweetiopia right because i was born in ethiopia but raised in sweden so i actually learned ethiopian food very late in life and most of the ethiopian cooking i know i threw notes from my wife when her sisters find out that i do ethiopian food they fly in are you going to ethiopia food no no no don’t embarrass us do that other food that you do so this my friend is a tenderloin of beef and we’re actually using the head because it’s actually separated here into two different parts right but for dips it doesn’t matter we’re not going to cook it whole it actually helps us in ethiopia eating meat is a luxury it’s something that you eat on big holidays whether it’s weddings or spiritual holidays very often when you have a big party you give away a goat you have to call your goat pimp have that in your phone i’m not joking the tips that you see late night is very often in ethiopia right around bars that’s where the cab drivers are that’s where the good eats are that’s where i go so i’m cutting into cubes like this very simple pieces and there’s really no bad parts of this but it’s super lean you can do this with flank steak as well much more affordable but why not black history month let’s celebrate now it’s time to sear it i’m just going to pour a little oil in and again i have a little bit sort of of leftover pieces we’re not going to throw them out the fat the good flavor is going to come from that all right we’re just going to put that in and season our pan right so we’re using everything you know we’ll be happy your grandmother the pan is hot salt a little bit of pepper and this guy this is the barbra berbera is used it’s our salt and pepper it’s used in everything berber is an ethiopian spice blend chili pepper cardamom sauce dried garlic dried ginger it’s all in there and it’s really the thing that when you’ve had ethiopian food this is what you’re going to remember this is actually even a currency in ethiopia so i’m putting a good amount on it on top i’m keeping this on a high eight and i’m just gonna coat my meat ah the smells and the aromas are absolutely amazing right i smell home when i’ve been away on a trip and i open my door and i miss something it’s very often the smell of berbere and now do not clean up the pan we’re going to use the same pan because all the juices and flavors are in here i’m going to add in my broccoli rub and this could be kale mustard green bottom of the pan has all the flavorings right it has the meat it has the meat drippings it has the berber we’re just gonna cook it pretty quick now we’re actually going to start building up this dish and we’re going to put a little bit of oil and the yellow it’s delicious so this adds flavor i’m going to start with onion nice beautiful red onion sliced garlic and ginger the flavor is just gonna build here so this combination between onion ginger garlic is also in so much of ethiopian cooking but it’s just gonna caramelize it gets nice i’m gonna add in rosemary time to add in a little bit of cumin i love making ethiopian especially ethiopian american food because my food then i’m very often taking ethiopians stew and you know adding in like pasta into that or doing a stir fry there like this and maybe put an egg on it and put it on the toast i start very often with ethiopian ingredients but end up somewhere else you see all this good stuff it’s caramelizing the onion the chilies as we’re doing that we’re just going to start add in some sort of the the wetter stuff so this is going to be our crushed tomatoes vinegar mustard berry goes in everything it really is a way of life the greens that we cooked off all of that’s just going to simmer together now the key here is to rebuilding this right the onions the garlic needs to cook off the rosemary all of that is cooking together simmering together i’m going to add in the beef now so now we’re going to work pretty quick so the meat is in i’m going to fold in there the nice chopped tomato the last ingredient i’m gonna put in is a little bit of chopped cilantro and now it’s just giving it a quick stir the whole process of making tips is around 20 minutes right and we’re making food here now for six to eight people it’s a lot of food it’s rich suggest you have it with a good beer and the cool thing with a dish like this is that this will also be what we’re going to eat it from so i’m just going to put a little bit of burberry here so this is kind of like if people want more they can go back and get that i’m going to give them two different places to do that same thing with the fresh cheese so this is like think about this as a ricotta this is a fresh cheese it’s called ive it’s buttermilk and milk so we’re just going to put that on a couple of places on the plate so here it’s like your different islands so if you want heat you go over here if you want to take off heat you take it over here right so look at this your tips is ready it looks delicious and we’re just gonna serve this on the center of the plate and la la la ethiopian dinner is almost served all right so this is our tips it’s absolutely delicious guys jump in you literally want to break bread here right you take your piece so you just break a small piece off like that right and then you just take your piece go for it you got to be fast because jason’s going to go in he isn’t
