Ethiopia operates on a unique doneness spectrum where 'raw' (Tere) is a PREMIUM positive grade, not a problematic fringe option. Premium Tere Siga and Kitfo are deliberately uncooked. Tibs Leb-Leb is the warm-but-lightly-cooked compromise. Standard cooked Tibs (Yetebese) is medium-well. Wot stews simmer for hours, producing extremely well-done results. The tradition's two poles — premium raw and slow-cooked stew — bypass the medium-rare/medium spectrum that dominates Western steakhouse culture.

Doneness terminology varies by country and restaurant. When unsure, describe what you want (e.g., “warm red center”).
