I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stew turned out really bad. The beef was tough and the sauce was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

The stew was good, but not great. The beef was a bit tough and the sauce was a bit bland. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The stew was easy to make and tasted great! I used chicken instead of beef and it turned out just as well. I'll definitely be making this again.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that it was very good. The beef was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper next time.

I've tried many beef stew recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of peanut butter and tomatoes gave it a creamy and tangy flavor that I couldn't get enough of. Will definitely be making this again!
