Adelle always sliced the green beans lengthwise, which helps them melt into the rich sauce. If you are shorter on time, you can also leave them whole.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- 1 pound beef shoulder center cut, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 2 ½ pounds green beans, trimmed
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Preparation
Step 1
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat oil over high heat until it shimmers. Add the beef cubes and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook until nicely browned on all sides, 10 minutes.
Step 2
Add 3 ½ cups of water into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1 hour.
Step 3
Add the green beans, tomato paste, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, cinnamon, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 2 hours, until the meat and beans are falling apart, and the liquid has reduced to a thick sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning.
Step 4
Serve hot.
