Method

1
Cut the beef into 3 cm pieces. Heat the oil in a heavy pot and brown the beef in batches. Add the chopped onion and cook for 5 minutes, then add the minced garlic and tomato paste and stir for 1 minute.
2
Add the chopped tomatoes, stock and salt. Cover and simmer gently for 75 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3
Whisk the peanut butter with a ladle of hot broth and return it to the pot. Add the peeled, diced sweet potatoes and simmer uncovered for 25–35 minutes, until the beef and potatoes are tender. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
4
Cook the rinsed rice in the water, covered over low heat for 15 minutes after bringing it to a boil. Rest for 10 minutes, then divide among four bowls and spoon the stew over it.
