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.

• 1 or 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
• 4 cups filtered water
• 1 can coconut milk (unsweetened, lite or regular)
• 2 teaspoons sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons cumin
• 4 cups cooked beans
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• cooked brown basmati rice

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.
