Beef and Bean Stew

I saw the recipe in a TV show, I don't even know the exact name because it was an inspiration from Spanish cuisine - but I thought it was very good because I love food that cooks slowly and for longer. Here the beans boil together with the beef and vegetables, you will realize that it can only be delicious.

It can be served with salad or pickles and pickled vegetables.

Ingredients

Dried white beans
400 g
I prefer round beans, great for this food
Beef meat
1 kg
White onion
2 pieces
Carrots
2 pieces
Canned chopped tomatoes, 300g
100 g
or 2 fresh tomatoes, or 2 tablespoons of tomato puree
Laurel leaves
3 pieces
Paprika
1 tbsp
Pepper
0.5 tsp
Salt
2 tbsp
Sunflower oil
100 g

Step by step

Step 1

Wash the beans well and soak them in more water for 12 hours, it is perfect to put them in the evening and prepare them on the 2nd day.

Step 2

And now we start to cook effectively, after the beans have softened well.

The beef is washed, dried with a towel / napkin and cooked a little in oil, until lightly browned on both sides.

Drain the water in which the beans were soaked and put the beans and hardened meat in it in a cauldron or pan. Clean, wash and cut an onion into 4, put it here in the cauldron. Also put 3 bay leaves here.

After boiling well, test if the meat and beans are soft. If so, then we will continue to prepare the vegetable composition.

If they are still strong, let them boil.

Step 9

And at the end, after everything has boiled well, add salt. Notice that the salt is added after the beans have boiled well, otherwise it hardens and you can boil it all day and it will not be soft.

Serve the food hot with salad or pickles - I made a quick marinated cabbage recipe, in 3 hours from Anishoara , it was very, very good. In the future I will put it on the site, for now you will learn directly from the source. :)

It's really worth trying this food, although it takes a little time and organization, it's not complicated - I assure you it's super, super delicious.
