beef and green bean stew

Besides ground beef, I have to admit that meat is not really my thing. I’m not a steak person at all and at barbecues I stick to grilled chicken, kebabs and vegetables. But given that I’m married to a real carnivore, I had to start cooking more meat dishes at home so I’ve created many recipes that we both love! This beef stew is one of my favorite meat meals to make, because the meat becomes so tender when cooked in tomato sauce.
