Cut the beef into pieces and place it in a skillet with the chopped garlic and onion. Sauté over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and water. Stir, then simmer over low heat for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and leaving the pan uncovered.
Meanwhile, peel and dice the sweet potatoes.
After 1 hour 15 minutes, add the sweet potatoes to the mixture. The sauce will have reduced by then, so cover the pan and cook for 1 hour more, stirring occasionally.
There you go! Enjoy!

FAQ ❓

How do I thicken my sauce?

If the sauce doesn’t seem thick enough at the end of step 1, bring the mixture to a boil, then add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water. Stir over low heat until it thickens.
