1. Cook the beans and saute onions
Place a pot with water (easily salted) on the stove and bring it to a boil. Add the beans and cook it for about 5-8 minutes depending on the beans. It must be a little al dente, not mushy.
Cut the meat in small cubes and brown it in little oil. Set aside. in the same oil saute the chopped onions and 2 garlic cloves until translucent. Add canned tomatoes and let everything cook together 10 minutes at medium-low flame.
2. Cook the meat
Add a little warm water to the stew and season with salt and pepper. A little sugar if necessary to correct the acidity. Add the meat and let it cook in that sauce until done, approx. 50-60 minutes depending on the meat.

5 minutes before turning off the heat add the green beans to the stew and 3 more garlic cloves (sliced or crushed). Let them finish cooking together and blending all those delicious flavors.
Finally, turn off the heat and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or dill.
