INGREDIENTS:
600 g cross-cut blade beef steak cut into bite-sized pieces (or other stewing beef)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
3 cloves of garlic minced
2½ cm fresh ginger grated
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp cayenne pepper optional, for heat
1 × 400g can of chopped tomatoes
2 C beef stock
½ C Forty Thieves Peanut Butter Smooth
500 g sweet potato (orange kūmara) peeled and cut into chunks
2 carrots peeled and sliced
1 roasted red capsicum chopped
1 broccoli divided into florets
½ C unsalted roasted peanuts roughly chopped
1 handful fresh coriander chopped
METHOD:
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef pieces and brown them on all sides. This may need to be done in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to soften.
Add the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the ground coriander, cumin, cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for about 1 minute to toast the spices.
Return the beef to the pot. Add the tomatoes, beef stock, and peanut butter. Season with a little salt and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender. Add the sweet potato, carrot and roasted capsicum to the beef and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
When the beef is just about ready cook the broccoli for a few minutes in a pot of boiling water. Drain well.
Serve the beef with broccoli alongside, sprinkle with peanuts and coriander.
