🥘 Slow beef stew with peanut, tomato and spinach, cooked to real tenderness.

Ingredients

600 g trimmed stewing beef in about 3 cm cubes
400 g cleaned fresh spinach
300 g diced tomato
200 g peeled chopped onion
12 g peeled chopped garlic
30 g tomato paste
100 g roasted peanut paste without sugar or salt
15 ml sunflower oil
700 ml drinking water, plus more if needed
Up to 2 g salt and a pinch of pepper

Preparation

Keep beef chilled, cut even cubes and clean hands and equipment after raw contact. Wash spinach, remove tough stems and cut; prepare vegetables.

Brown beef in oil about 8 minutes, batches if needed. Reserve in raw-preparation container; soften onion in pan 5 minutes.

Add garlic and tomato paste for 2 minutes, return beef and add 700 ml water and pepper.

Bring to small boil, partly cover and simmer about 85 minutes until fully cooked and fork tender. Extend with hot water if needed; firm meat is not ready.

Dilute peanut paste in a little hot cooking liquid, return with fresh tomatoes and cook gently 5 minutes, stirring bottom.

Add spinach, cook about 5 more minutes until fully softened, taste before salt and divide 4 main portions. Timing may extend by cut; no cereal included.
