Tere Siga
Tere siga is raw beef served without spicing beyond a side of awaze for dipping: the purest expression of raw meat in the Ethiopian kitchen. Where Kitfo is seasoned throughout and Gored gored carries awaze in the preparation, tere siga presents the beef on its own terms. The fat content depends on the cut, the iron-and-mineral character of raw beef is the primary flavour, and the wine must work with that character without the spice scaffolding the other raw dishes provide.
