Method
Brown the beef
Cut the beef into large cubes and brown in oil for 6–8 minutes; season. Finely chop or blend the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli, add to the pot and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Add the tomatoes
Stir in the tomato paste and cook briefly. Add the tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, then pour in the water or stock listed in the ingredients. Cover and simmer for 60–90 minutes until the meat is almost tender, allowing longer if needed.
Stir in the peanut butter
Whisk the peanut butter with 2–3 ladlefuls of hot liquid from the pot in a bowl. Return it to the pot and simmer uncovered for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Adjust the consistency with water or extra simmering.
Season and serve
Season with salt, pepper and chilli and, if desired, a little lemon juice. Serve with rice.
