Cook Time: 6 hours 50 minutes
Total Time: 6 hours 55 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1-2 TBS extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 medium yellow chopped
  • 1 lb beef stew meat
  • 1 lb green beans ends trimmed and cut
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes (you can use flavored crushed tomatoes too - I've used crushed tomatoes with basil and garlic before)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • In a large pot with a lid, pour in olive oil and add chopped onion. Cook for 5 minutes until the onions become translucent.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper on the beef (you want to season the meat before you put it in the pot, I pat it onto the meat) and then add the beef into the pot and cook for 5 minutes, only stirring it once or twice so that the meat browns.
  • Next add in the cut green beans and pour in the crushed tomatoes, stir, and put the lid on and turn heat to low and allow to simmer for 4 hours.
