Method
Follow each step in order. Ingredient names are highlighted as you go.
- 01
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat.
- 02
Season the beef chuck with the salt and black pepper, then brown it in batches so the pieces sear rather than steam.
- 03
Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, and cook until soft. Stir in the garlic until fragrant.
- 04
Add the tomato and tomato paste and cook until the mixture is thick and slightly darkened.
- 05
Return the beef chuck to the pot and pour in the hot meat stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook gently until the beef is nearly tender.
- 06
Whisk the peanut butter with a ladleful of hot broth until smooth, then stir it into the stew.
- 07
Add the carrot and potato and simmer uncovered until the vegetables and beef are tender and the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
- 08
Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
