Egyptian Fasolya with Beef (Green Bean Stew)

A cozy, hearty, and SUPER nutritious Egyptian comfort dish made with tender beef, simmered green beans, and a rich tomato broth. Tip: I batch make it and store for later! My kids love this and it's an easy way to give them protein and veggies in an easy, delicious way.

Brown the Beef

1.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chuck beef and sear until it’s nicely browned on all sides.

Slow Cook the Beef

1.

Pour in chicken broth (or water) until just covering the beef. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and let it cook on low until the meat starts to soften (about 45–60 min depending on cut).

Cook the Green Beans

1.

In a separate pot, heat a bit of oil. Add onions and garlic and sauté until fragrant and translucent. Add the green beans, salt, pepper, cumin, and butter if using. Sauté a few minutes.

Combine Everything

1.

Add the browned beef and some of its cooking broth to the green beans pot. Stir well, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes, or until the beans soften and the beef is tender.

Tomato Base

1.

Add crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir to coat everything. If there’s too much liquid, simmer uncovered to let it thicken — or remove some broth. You want it to not be thick and not too watery.

Simmer & Serve

1.

Let it cook another 10–15 minutes until the sauce is rich and the flavors meld beautifully.
