1 serving (medium) of Green beans stew with ground beef (200 g) has 190 calories. That works out to 95 calories per 100 g. It contains 14.4 g of carbs, 13.4 g of protein, 8.4 g of fat and 5.4 g of fiber. Its 0.9 µg of B12 covers 38% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Green beans stew with ground beef is a Turkish home-style dish of tender green beans simmered with minced beef, onion and tomato or tomato paste. As the beans cook, they take on the savoury, gently sweet tomato sauce, while the browned beef makes the stew hearty and substantial.
It is usually served warm, often with rice, bulgur or bread to soak up the sauce, and sometimes with plain yogurt alongside. The combination provides protein as well as fibre from the beans, making it a satisfying main dish. For a lighter pot, use lean ground beef and go easy on the oil; a squeeze of lemon or fresh herbs can brighten the flavour at the table.

Brown the ground beef with onion, stir in tomato or tomato paste and green beans, then add a little water and simmer until the beans are tender. Keep the pot covered while it cooks, and add water only if the stew starts to dry out.
Fresh, tender green beans with no tough strings work best in green beans stew with ground beef. Trim the ends and cut longer beans into pieces so they cook evenly; older, thicker beans may need extra simmering time.
The beans may be old, cut into very large pieces, or simply not cooked long enough. Keep green beans stew with ground beef at a gentle simmer until a bean is tender when pierced, adding a little water if the sauce becomes too thick.
Yes, you can make green beans stew with ground beef in a slow cooker. Brown the beef and onion first for better flavor, then add the beans, tomato, and a small amount of liquid; avoid adding too much, since the vegetables release moisture as they cook.
Yes, frozen green beans work in green beans stew with ground beef, and you can add them straight from the freezer. They may become softer than fresh beans, so add them later in cooking if you want them to keep more texture.
Rice, bulgur, crusty bread, or a simple salad all pair well with green beans stew with ground beef. For a Turkish-style meal, serve it with rice or bulgur and plain yogurt to balance the tomato-rich sauce.
Yes, green beans stew with ground beef freezes well. Cool it promptly, portion it into airtight freezer-safe containers, and leave a little room for expansion. Thaw a portion in the refrigerator before reheating it thoroughly.
Green beans stew with ground beef keeps for about 3 days in the refrigerator when cooled promptly and stored in a covered container. Refrigerate leftovers rather than leaving the pot out, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
Yes, you can make green beans stew with ground beef without tomato paste. Use chopped fresh or canned tomatoes instead, and simmer until they break down into the sauce; the result will be less concentrated but still tomato-flavored.
Yes, green beans stew with ground beef can be a filling, balanced meal, with protein from the beef and fiber from the beans. Pair it with a modest serving of rice or bread and add salad or yogurt rather than relying on the stew's sauce alone.
