Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 lb stew beef or lamb ((with bones))
4 cups fresh green beans
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion ((diced))
1 tbsp paprika
1 large tomato ((chopped))
4 cloves garlic ((slivered))
6 ounce tomato paste
1½ tsp salt
1½ tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp cayenne pepper ((optional))

Steps:

Slice rinsed meat into portions and add to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Add 5 cups of water, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
While the meat is cooking, trim the ends from green beans, cut them in half, and slice them down the middle. Set aside.
Drain contents of the Dutch oven through a strainer (over a bowl) to collect the broth. Rinse the meat and the pot.
Return the meat back to the pot, along with oil, onion, and paprika. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes until the meat is browned and the onion is sautéed.
Add the green beans, chopped tomato, and garlic to the Dutch oven. Dissolve tomato paste into the reserved hot liquid, and stir in salt, lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.
Pour the broth mixture over the beans and stir gently. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer, over low heat, for an additional 30 to 40 minutes.
Serve over white or vermicelli rice. Another serving option is to serve the stew with bread for dunking or eat as-is for a lower carb option.
