Dry Bean Stew with Beef is a thick, Turkish-style dish of white beans cooked with beef, usually with onion and tomato paste. The “dry” style uses little cooking liquid, so it is less soupy than many bean stews.
Dry Bean Stew with Beef is a less-soupy take on Turkish kuru fasulye, the familiar white-bean-and-meat stew. Traditional kuru fasulye is often served with plenty of sauce, while the susuz version is cooked down until the beans are coated rather than swimming in broth.
Yes, canned beans work in Dry Bean Stew with Beef and save the soaking and initial cooking step. Drain and rinse them, then add them after the beef is tender and simmer gently so the beans absorb the sauce without breaking apart.
To keep Dry Bean Stew with Beef thick, add only enough hot water to barely cover the ingredients and simmer uncovered near the end. Avoid adding extra liquid early; the beans and beef release moisture as they cook.
Beans that remain hard in Dry Bean Stew with Beef usually need more cooking, or they were old and slow to soften. Cook the beans until nearly tender before combining them with acidic ingredients such as tomato paste, which can delay softening.
A beef cut suited to slow cooking works best in Dry Bean Stew with Beef because it becomes tender as the stew simmers. Cut the beef into even pieces and brown it first to build flavor before adding the beans and cooking liquid.
Onion, tomato paste, and a careful browning of the beef give Dry Bean Stew with Beef much of its familiar Turkish home-cooked flavor. Some cooks add pepper paste or a little red pepper, while keeping the bean-and-beef combination central.
Yes, Dry Bean Stew with Beef freezes well in an airtight container. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it gently; if the beans have absorbed the sauce, loosen the stew with a small splash of water.
Dry Bean Stew with Beef pairs well with rice, crusty bread, or a simple salad. In a Turkish-style meal, rice pilaf and pickled vegetables are classic sides that complement the thick, savory sauce.
Reheat Dry Bean Stew with Beef slowly in a covered saucepan, stirring gently and adding a little water if the sauce has thickened in storage. Gentle heat helps warm the beef through without splitting or crushing the beans.

Dry Bean Stew with Beef is a Turkish home-style dish of tender white beans cooked with beef, usually with onion and tomato paste. The “dry” style has little sauce rather than the generous broth of a soupy bean stew, and the pot is simmered until the beans and meat are soft.
In Turkey it is commonly served for lunch or dinner with rice pilaf, pickles or a simple salad, and it is a familiar sight in home kitchens and lokantas. The beans contribute fibre and plant protein, while the beef adds protein, making this a filling meal. For a lighter plate, serve it with salad instead of pilaf and choose lean beef.
