BULGUR PILAF WITH BEEF AND BEANS

Another random creation, my take on bulgur.  Even I was surprised to see how tasty it turned out.

Bulgur Pilaf with Beef and Beans

Ingredients:
2 cups bulgur
1 pound beef stew meat
1 pound green beans
4 small tomatoes
1 small red bell pepper
1 small onion
2 tbsp olive oil
Black pepper
Salt

Dice two tomatoes and half of a small onion. Puree them using a hand blender or a regular blender. Add a pinch of black pepper and salt to taste. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a pot. Add the sauce and beef stew meat. Cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Wash and cut off tips of the green beans. Then cut the beans into smaller (about an inch) pieces and add to the pot. Cook for 15 minutes or until the beans become tender.
