Asian String Beans with Beef
Pane-Bistecca
Another Asian recipe, one with the long, thin snake beans/string beans from Asia. Traditionally, these beans are paired with beef. This dish is also quite simple and quick to cook. By the way, you don’t always have to cook Chinese, because this bean dish also goes quite well with European dishes. In Switzerland, beans are often paired with sausage dishes.
Snake beans are another variation of the many bean varieties. They grow up to one meter long. They grow mainly in warm Asia!

Now add the beans to the same wok and fry briefly, then add the meat again and fry well and mix. Serve hot. (I pre-cooked the beans as I have a delicate stomach. If you want them crunchy, you can omit this.)
