Green Beans And Beef

• 2 lbs lean beef, cut in 1-inch cubes (recommend top round or sirloin)
• 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped (recommend WallaWalla or Vidalia sweet onion)
• 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans beef broth
• 2 lbs fresh green beans, snapped into 1-inch pieces
• 1 bouquet garni (fresh sprigs of savory and basil, tied in a bunch with string ) (optional)
• salt (unless using salt-free broth, I don't add any)

1. In a 6-quart pot, brown beef with garlic in olive oil.
2. Add onion and saute for a couple of minutes.
3. Add beef broth. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour or until beef can be cut with a spoon.
4. Add green beans. (If using fresh herbs, drop in the bunch of sprigs, looping excess string around the pot handle.) Cover and continue to simmer until beans are tender, about 1/2 hour.
5. Serve with a slotted spoon so most of the liquid remains in the pot.
