Oil-Free Green Beans with Lean Beef is made by simmering lean beef, green beans, onion, tomatoes or tomato paste, and water until tender. Brown the beef in a nonstick pot with a splash of water, add the aromatics, then simmer with the beans until both are cooked.
Cook the beef before adding the green beans if it needs more time to become tender. Lean beef can take longer than the vegetables, and adding the beans later helps them keep their shape instead of turning mushy during a long simmer.

Oil-Free Green Beans with Lean Beef brings together green beans and small pieces of beef, often with onion and tomato, in a simple home-style stew. The ingredients cook in their own juices rather than added oil, so the beans turn tender while keeping a fresh, slightly sweet flavour. It is a Turkish-style meal that works well for lunch or dinner, served with rice, bulgur or bread; a spoonful of yoghurt is a natural accompaniment. The combination makes it a filling vegetable-and-meat dish, with 8.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter, more vegetable-forward plate, use a generous amount of beans and keep the beef portions modest.
