What is Gheymeh Stew with Beef?
Gheymeh stew with beef is a classic Iranian dish made by slowly simmering beef with yellow split peas, onion, tomato paste and dried lime. It is often finished with crisp fried potato strips. As it cooks, the meat turns tender and the peas soften, giving the stew a substantial, thick texture.
Its savory tomato base is brightened by the dried lime, and it is commonly served in Iran with Persian rice. For a home-cooked meal elsewhere, pair it with plain rice or flatbread and a fresh salad. The beef and peas contribute protein, while the legumes also provide fibre; use a light hand with oil if you want a less rich serving.
