Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 lbs stewing beef, cut into 2 ", cubes
1 lb fresh tomatoes or 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 lb green beans, cleaned and cut into 2 ", pieces
2 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
salt and pepper

Steps:

Lightly salt and pepper the beef then place it in a covered skillet, add water to just cover the meat.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, lower the heat and simmer for about an hour.
Remove the beef from the heat, reserve 1 cup of the broth, discard the rest.
Roughly chop the tomatoes and the garlic then whirl them in a food processor with the reserved broth until you have fairly smooth sauce.
Add the sauce, the beans, the cumin and coriander to the pot with the meat and simmer for about another hour, until the beef is tender. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
