How do you make beans braised with meat? Start with dried beans, which need to be soaked beforehand — overnight is best. Add onion, carrot, bell pepper, and fresh tomatoes.

Step 3:

Cut the pork into pieces and brown it in a skillet. Boil the beans.
Step 4:

Add the prepped vegetables to the meat and lightly sauté.
Step 5:

Pour in the crushed or finely chopped tomatoes.
Step 6:

Add the boiled beans.
Step 7:

Stir gently and braise everything together for 15–20 minutes. Serve hot for lunch or dinner.

Beans braised with meat is a very tasty and filling dish that combines plant and animal protein, nicely rounded out by the fiber from the vegetables.
The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. For all the details on choosing the perfect pan for different dishes, see the guide.
All oils are only good up to a certain temperature — their smoke point, where the oil starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature and pick the best oil for the job (and which to avoid), see the guide.
Besides pork, you can use any other meat in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, flavor, and calorie count will change — beef, for instance, takes longer than pork, while chicken or turkey takes less.
Everyone's taste for salt, sweetness, bitterness, heat, and acidity is different, so always add spices and seasonings to your own liking. If you're using a seasoning for the first time, keep in mind that some are especially easy to overdo (chili pepper, for one).
