Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 1.5 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes, and brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: In the same pot, add 2 medium onions, chopped, and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Add 3 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tbsp ground ginger, and 1 tsp cayenne pepper. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Stir in 2 tomatoes, chopped, 1 red bell pepper, chopped, and 1/4 cup peanut butter. Cook for 3 minutes.
Step 4: Return the browned beef to the pot. Add 2 cups beef broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until beef is tender.
Step 5: Stir in 1 cup frozen corn and cook for 10 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with steamed plantains.
