Clean and wash the green beans. Cook in boiling salted water for 10-15 minutes. Cook rice in boiling salted water according to package instructions. Clean, wash and dice the tomatoes. Peel and chop onion and garlic. Put bean seeds in a sieve, rinse cold and drain.
Wash the thyme, shake dry, remove leaves from the stalks. Wash the meat, dab dry and cut into strips. Heat oil in a pan. Fry the meat for about 5 minutes, turning it over. Add onion, garlic, tomatoes and beans. Season with salt, pepper and thyme and continue cooking for 3-5 minutes. Drain green beans and fold in. Season bean pan to taste. Serve with rice.
We boil the beans separately in salted water instead of adding them to the sauce. The acidity of the tomatoes would prevent the vegetables from becoming soft.
