Directions
-
Season beef with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper. Heat canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat and cook beef in 2 or 3 batches until well browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
-
In the same pan, sauté onion and garlic until softened. Stir in tomatoes, chipotle chilies and chicken broth. Season with remaining salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Whisk in peanut butter, cocoa powder, cinnamon and cumin. Add beef and its juices and bring back to a gentle simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 10 min.
-
Adjust seasoning if needed and serve with rice.
