AFRICAN BEEF CURRY



African Beef Curry image

This African beef curry recipe is popular with my family and friends. It's from my Aunt Linda, who was a missionary in Nigeria for 45 years. The stew is served on a bed of rice and sprinkled with toppings. I put the bowls of toppings on my large turntable, and everyone can take whatever they want. In addition to the coconut, peanuts and raisins, you could also top the stew with chopped cucumbers, pineapple tidbits or mandarin orange slices.

WEST AFRICAN POT ROAST

I have no idea whether this recipe is authentic, but my family loves it, and it's so easy to put together. Don't let the ingredients throw you! The sauce melts into a creamy, slightly spicy, earthy-flavored amalgamation that complements the beef. (Don't knock it 'til you try it!) Very good with mashed potatoes, fried okra, and carrots.

Time 3h20m

Yield 1 roast, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (3 -5 lb) boneless beef roast, thawed
1 -2 onion, peeled and cut into wedges
1 -2 tablespoon cooking oil
salt and pepper
3/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
1 bay leaf

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a dutch oven or deep casserole that can be placed on the stove burner.
  • Salt and pepper the beef to your taste.
  • Brown the beef with the onions until well browned on all sides. Remove the beef and onions and drain on paper towels. Drain the oil from the pan, then return the roast and onions.
  • In a small microwaveable bowl, mix together the peanut butter, tomato paste, and water. Microwave on HIGH for about 1-2 minutes, until barely hot. Stir to make a smooth sauce (don't worry if it isn't completely smooth).
  • Pour the peanut butter sauce over the roast in the casserole, then add the seasonings.
  • Bake the roast in the oven for approximately 3--3 1/2 hours, or until tender.
  • If the sauce lookes oily, skim off the fat, then serve with the sliced roast.
