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. Place the peanuts in a saucepan, add enough water to partially cover them and bring to a slow boil, stirring often.
 * 3) Reduce heat.
 * 4) Crush peanuts with a potato-masher.
 * 5) Bring greens to boil. In a separate stew pot, sauté meat in oil, reduce heat.
 * 6) Add the greens to the meat and simmer for an hour. When the greens are nearly fully cooked, pour out most of the water. Add the Peanut butter (or Peanut paste) and spices. Simmer on very low heat.
