Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef chuck or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup natural peanut butter (or finely ground peanuts)
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) canned diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 whole scotch bonnet or habanero chile (or 1 tsp hot sauce)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  2. 2

    Pat beef dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in batches without stirring, 2 minutes per side until browned. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Add onion to the same skillet, sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in peanut butter, tomatoes, broth, sweet potato, and whole chile. Nestle beef back in.

  5. 5

    Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook uncovered for 8–10 minutes until sweet potato is tender and sauce thickens slightly.

  6. 6

    Remove chile, taste, and adjust salt and pepper. Serve hot over rice.
