Beef and Greens in Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

 * oil to fry meat (palm oil is most authentic, peanut oil or vegetable oil will do)
 * one pound Beef stew meat
 * one cup Peanut butter, or peanuts
 * lots of greens: cassava leaves, kale, collard greens, turnip greens, or similar; stems removed and cleaned
 * African Hot Sauce, or cayenne pepper or red pepper (to taste)
 * salt to taste

Directions

 * 1) If you are using peanuts (instead of Peanut butter), make your own homemade Peanut paste:
 * 2) Remove the peanuts' shells, roast the peanuts on a baking sheet in a hot oven, or in a large skillet on the stove, stirring often, then remove the skins.
 * 3) Place the peanuts in a saucepan, add enough water to partially cover them and bring to a slow boil, stirring often.
 * 4) Reduce heat.
 * 5) Crush peanuts with a potato-masher.
 * 6) Bring greens to boil.
 * 7) In a separate stew pot, sauté meat in oil, reduce heat.
 * 8) Add the greens to the meat and simmer for an hour.
 * 9) When the greens are nearly fully cooked, pour out most of the water.
 * 10) Add the Peanut butter (or Peanut paste) and spices.
 * 11) Simmer on very low heat.
