  1. STEP 1

    STEP 1

    How to make lobio with meat? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. You will need boneless beef. I used meat from the shoulder blade. The amount of garlic can be adjusted to your taste. Also take your choice of greens. I have parsley and dill.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Rinse the red beans thoroughly and soak them in clean cold water for about 4-5 hours, or preferably overnight. Soaking will significantly reduce the cooking time. After the specified time, rinse the beans again, put them in a saucepan and cover with water. Cook the beans over medium heat until fully cooked, about an hour.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    While the beans are cooking, you can start cooking the meat. Rinse the beef fillet under running water and dry with paper towels. Cut the meat into medium-sized pieces.

  4. STEP 4

    STEP 4

    Place the pieces of beef in a deep frying pan (I use cast iron) and place it over medium heat. As soon as the meat is hot, pour some water into the pan, reduce the heat and simmer the beef, covered, for half an hour, stirring occasionally.

  5. STEP 5

    STEP 5

    Peel the onion, rinse under cold water so that when cutting it does not sting your eyes, and cut into small cubes. Then add it to the beef in the pan and continue to simmer.

  6. STEP 6

    STEP 6

    Add the chopped onion to the beef in the frying pan and continue to simmer.

  7. STEP 7

    STEP 7

    Wash the tomato, make a cross-shaped cut on it and place in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. This will make it easy to remove the skin from the tomato. Cut the blanched tomato into small cubes.

  8. STEP 8

    STEP 8

    Place the chopped tomato in the frying pan with the meat and stir.

  9. STEP 9

    STEP 9

    Peel the garlic cloves and chop them finely. Place the chopped garlic in the pan. Simmer everything together for about 10-15 minutes.

  10. STEP 10

    STEP 10

    If necessary, drain the remaining water from the finished beans and place them in the frying pan with the meat. Add salt and pepper to taste and stir. Simmer for about 5 minutes and remove the pan from the heat. Leave the lobio for 15-20 minutes to steep.

I once bought a bag of beans, but never got around to making something tasty out of it. But today beans became the main ingredient in the dish I was preparing for the first time. This is lobio with meat. I prepared lobio from white beans and pork tenderloin for 2 servings. The beans were pre-soaked in water and left overnight. In the morning, I washed it, filled it with fresh water and set the beans to cook for 1 hour. Meanwhile, I cut the pork into small cubes and put the pieces in heated oil in a frying pan. Fry until the meat is browned. Then I added the diced onion to the frying pan, waited for it to fry until golden brown, and also added a diced tomato and a finely chopped clove of garlic to the frying pan. Stewed the meat until cooked until it became soft. Then I added the prepared beans to the meat, added salt, covered the pan with a lid and simmered for 5 minutes. I gave the dish 20 minutes to steep. The lobio turned out to be very filling and tasty. The beans were soft and appetizing, the meat was saturated with the aromas of vegetables, among which a pleasant garlic note stood out. Thanks for the recipe!
