Fasoulia made with Beef cheeks!! This green bean stew is made various ways throughout the Middle East. It’s very common in Lebanese and Egyptian households. I grew up eating what I call the big three stews which were Fasoulia (green beans), Bisella (peas) and my favorite Bamya (okra). I’ve had it with a few different cuts of meat but never with beef cheeks so I thought I’d give it a try and let me tell you… it did not disappoint. The marbling of the beef cheeks really ass a delicious deep flavor to the stew. . What is your favorite stew? . 4lbs Beef Cheeks trimmed and cubed 1 onion diced 3 cloves garlic minced 2 Tb pepper paste 4 Tb tomato paste 1/2 tsp all spice Salt and pepper to taste 4 cups green beans 1 lemon juiced . Season beef cheeks with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium high heat add a little oil and sear the beef cheeks in batches until brown all over, remove from pot. In the same pot add onions and cook until translucent 3-5 min. Add garlic, pepper paste, tomato paste. Fill halfway with water and stir to break up paste. Add in the seared beef cheeks, all spice and fill with water until meat is covered. Simmer for 2-3 hours or until the meat is fork tender. Add in green beans, lemon, adjust seasoning and cook for additional 15-20 min or until beans are cooked. Serve over rice. . hats @crownminded .
