• Add half the beef and brown well on all sides.
• Place the meat in a soaked 3-quart clay pot.
• Brown remaining beef in additional 1 tablespoon oil. Add this batch to pot.

• Place the skillet over medium-high heat and heat the remaining oil.
• Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger, and saute for about 8 minutes, until the onions are translucent. Add the sauteed vegetables to the clay pot.

AFRICAN GROUND NUT STEW

Steps:

• Saute onions until translucent in a large saucepan. Add chicken pieces and saute until golden but not necessarily cooked through. Add coconut milk and stock and bring to a simmer. Once the liquid is simmering, add the peanut butter a spoonful at a time and keep stirring until it is well incorporated. The sauce should be fairly thick (stew like, not soup like), so you may need to add more peanut butter or loosen with water depending upon the ingredients you use. Add chopped collards/greens and cook until very wilted. Season, to taste, with chili paste/sambal oelek and salt.
• Serve over rice or other starch.
• Traditional African stiff porridge would be served on the side and used to dip into the sauce with one's hands. Pull off a piece the size of a meatball, use your thumb to make an impression in the porridge and use the divet to scoop up the stew and pop it into your mouth! Enjoy.
