Ingredients

2 tablespoons clarified butter
1 pound chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces
1 1/2 teaspoons salt divided
1/2 teaspoon pepper divided
1 medium onion diced
32 ounces tomato sauce
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 pound green beans trimmed and cut in 2-inch pieces, fresh or frozen
minced parsley to garnish
rice pilaf and plain yogurt to serve

Instructions

Heat clarified butter over medium-high heat in a large stockpot.
Sprinkle beef cubes evenly with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add beef and onions to the pan and cook until meat begins to brown and onions start to become translucent, about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle in remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and cinnamon. Add tomatoes to the pot and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for two hours or longer. (You’ll know the dish is ready when the beef is tender.)
Once the meat is tender, add green beans to the pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low. Simmer until beans are tender, about 45 minutes.
Serve over rice pilaf and a dollop of plain yogurt. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Try this in the slow cooker! In a medium skillet, sear the beef over medium-high heat until brown on all sides. Place beef in the crockpot with the rest of the ingredients. Cook on low for 8 hours. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
