👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides in batches, then set aside.
2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger (and chili pepper, if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3
Stir in the diced tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4
Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the beef broth, add salt, pepper, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
5
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
6
In a small bowl, whisk the peanut butter with about 1 cup of the hot stew liquid until smooth. Pour this mixture back into the pot and stir well to combine.
7
Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 20-30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Remove bay leaves before serving.
