1. Brown meat on both sides then remove from heat.

2. Brown onions in same pot then add meat back + spices (garlic + turmeric + curry powder + cinnamon + pepper)

3. Add the tomato paste and diced tomatoes and Persian limes (puncture holes in them) Pour water/beef broth/bone broth until the meat mixture is covered with liquid.

4. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook for about 2-3 hours until meat is tender… (the longer the better)

5. Sauté green beans separately until color change/softer
