A rich and flavorful peanut butter beef sauce perfect for pairing with rice or noodles.
Heat a medium pot over medium heat and cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked.
Break the beef into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the onion from burning.
Stir in the tomato paste and water, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Ensure the tomato paste is fully dissolved in the water.
Mix in the peanut butter and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Stirring frequently prevents the peanut butter from sticking to the pot.
Season with salt, bouillon cube, and chili powder, then let the sauce simmer for another 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the sauce hot over your choice of rice or noodles.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
