2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 lb beef stew meat, cubed |
2 medium onions, chopped |

1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons ground red pepper or 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes |
1 cup peanut butter (smooth kind) |
cooked mashed sweet potatoes |
cooked rice |
Directions:
1. In a large Dutch oven, brown chicken in vegetable oil until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Set aside, reserve drippings.
2. Add beef, onion and green pepper to drippings. Cook until beef is well browned and onion is translucent. Drain off fat.
3. Stir in undrained tomatoes, salt and red pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover and simmer 30 minutes.
