Slow Cooked Beef Bean Bowl (Low-Calorie)
Turkish-inspired braised beef bowl built on lean sirloin simmered slowly with cannellini beans, tomato, onion and warming spices until fork-tender. Finished with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon, the dish delivers rich savoury depth typical of a Turkish etli kuru fasulye while staying light through reduced oil and a leaner cut.
