Ingredients:

• 2 lb diced meat (beef, lamb, or goat)
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1-2 jalapeños, sliced (adjust based on desired spice level)

Instructions:

1. Heat the Pan: Begin by heating a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and allow it to warm up.
2. Cook the Meat: Add the diced meat to the pan. Cook for a few minutes until the meat starts to brown. As the meat cooks, it will release some water. Allow the water to evaporate.
3. Brown the Meat: Once the water has evaporated and the meat is nice and dewy, continue to sauté the meat until it becomes nicely browned. This will enhance the flavor and texture.
4. Season the Meat: Add the salt and garlic powder to the browned meat. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
5. Add the Vegetables: Once the meat is well-seasoned, add the sliced onions, chopped tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños to the pan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
6. Cook Until Tender: Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
7. Serve: Once everything is cooked to your liking, remove the pan from heat. Serve the Derek Tibs hot, accompanied by injera or your choice of side dishes.
