Gored gored is a simple dish that involves searing beef cubes in niter kibbeh—Ethiopia's ubiquitous seasoned clarified butter—and a sauce called awaze. Composed of the berbere spice blend, oil, wine, and a number of other spices, awaze is not easy to find outside of Ethiopia; check African markets in larger American cities. For authentic gored gored, the beef should be seared but not cooked. Ethiopian immigrants to the United States brought their traditional recipes, like gored gored, with them.
