Chadian Peanut Stew - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs beef, cubed
flour, for coating
5 tablespoons oil
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 yellow onions, sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
salt
3 cups water
1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter

Preparation

Coat the beef cubes with flour. Set aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add beef, nutmeg and chili powder. Brown the beef on all sides.
Add the onions, garlic, tomato paste, salt and water. Mix well.
Bring the stew to a boil over high heat, lower the temperature and simmer until the meat is tender and the sauce reduced, 1-2 hours.
Half an hour before serving, put the peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a small pot.
Mix and heat over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the peanut butter to the beef, a little bit at a time, mixing as you do that. Simmer on low heat for 20 more minutes. Serve over rice.
