¼ cup rice vinegar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a good-quality peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts. Avoid peanut butters that contain added sugar or oils.
  • If you don't have beef stew meat, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or pork chops instead.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cut vegetables. However, if you have the time, it's best to cut your own vegetables so that you can get them to the desired size and shape.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of spices in the recipe to your liking. If you like things spicy, add more cayenne pepper or chili powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices.
  • Serve the peanut butter beef stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter beef stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover beef stew meat or vegetables. With its unique flavor and creamy texture, this stew is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
