Ensure the ground beef is very fresh and of the highest quality. Keep it refrigerated until ready to use.
In a bowl, gently combine the ground beef with the Mitmita spice blend, cardamom, and salt. Mix well, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
In a separate pan, melt the Niter Kibbeh over low heat. Be careful not to burn it.
Pour the melted Niter Kibbeh over the spiced ground beef. Mix gently but thoroughly.
Serve the Kitfo immediately with a side of Ayib cheese. Kocho and Gomen (collard greens) are traditional accompaniments.
Enjoy the Kitfo while it is fresh and the beef is still raw. For those who prefer it cooked, lightly sauté the Kitfo in a pan for a few minutes before serving.
