How to Make Beef Birmingham

  1. Cut 1 lb beef sirloin (or boneless, skinless chicken breasts) into 1/4-inch thin slices.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté 2 cloves minced garlic, the beef (or chicken), 1 medium chopped onion, and 2 stalks chopped celery until the meat is browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 2 cups beef broth (or chicken broth for chicken), 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the meat is tender. (Chicken will cook faster than beef).
  6. Serve immediately over cooked rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.
