Ingredients:
1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

5 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound lean ground beef

Directions
1. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine broth, peanut butter, and cornstarch. Shake to blend well; set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and add ginger and garlic. Cook 30 seconds, then add beef and brown, breaking up with a spoon, until cooked through, about 5 minutes.
