Creamy Beef & Beans with Rice
The sauce in this dish is one of my favorite flavor combinations — coconut milk, cumin and nutritional yeast. Use any type of beans you like.
Heat oil over medium heat in a 3 quart saucepot. Brown stew meat in the oil until it is browned on all sides. Add diced onions and cook until tender. Add water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Let simmer for 1-1/2 hours or more, until meat is very tender. Add water as needed to keep beef immersed.
When tender, add coconut milk, sea salt, pepper, cumin and beans. Let simmer to warm all new ingredients. Add nutritional yeast. Remove from heat. Adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over warm brown basmati rice.

Yum! I know what I’M making for dinner tonight! Thanks for posting this!
I hope you like it! We ate it for 2 days, actually, 3… we’re finishing it up for today’s lunch.
We have been using coconut milk for soups lately and have been really enjoying it. This looks great! We’ll have to try it, perhaps with chicken or lamb. 😀 Hugs, Robin
Would this be good with ground beef?
Hi, Jessica.
We haven’t made it with ground beef but I think it would be great! It may have less sauce and you won’t need to simmer as long if you used pre-cooked ground beef which I would recommend so you can drain away any grease.
