Soak the dried beans overnight in plenty of water.
Drain the beans and boil them for 20 minutes, leaving them still firm.
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a clay pot or cast-iron pot.
Brown the beef for 8 minutes, until it releases and reabsorbs its juices.
Chop the onion, peppers, and tomatoes, add them to the beef, and soften for 6 minutes.
Add the pastes and fry for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
Add the beans, dried peppers, hot water, salt, and black pepper.
Cover the pot and bake in a 180°C oven for 2 hours.
Rest the beans for 15 minutes, then serve once the sauce has thickened.
💡 Tip: Soaking the beans overnight keeps the skins from staying tough during the long clay-pot bake.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with fluffy rice pilaf, pickles, and raw onion.
