Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the beans
If the beans were soaked beforehand, drain the water. If desired, rinse briefly to reduce starch.
Roast the meat
Heat the pot. Add butter and sunflower oil, add cubed meat and fry over medium heat until it releases its water.
Add the onion
Add the chopped onion to the pot. Cook, stirring, until the onions soften and change color slightly.
Remove the smell of the tomato paste
Add tomato paste. Fry for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw smell of the tomato paste.
Add the beans to the pot
Add the drained beans. Mix with oil and tomato paste for about 1 minute.
Add hot water and cook
Add enough hot water to cover it by 2-3 fingers. When it boils, reduce the heat, close the lid and cook for about 50 minutes, until the beans are soft. If the water runs low, add hot water little by little.
Adjust the spices
Add salt and pepper when it's almost cooked. Keep it on low heat for another 5-10 minutes and let it thicken, then let it rest and serve.
