Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

Mix in chopped tomatoes and green chili, cooking until tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Sprinkle in berbere spice, salt, black pepper, coriander, cumin, and cardamom, stirring to combine.

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and fresh herbs.

Serve hot over injera or with flatbread.
