1 cup water
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato pesto sauce or spread

Preparation

Alternate Cooking Method:

Step 1

Sort beans and remove any debris or broken beans; rinse and drain to remove grit. Place beans in large bowl and cover with water. Cover and soak overnight in refrigerator. Reserve seasoning packet.
Step 2

Drain beans; rinse and remove any shriveled beans. Place Stew Meat, beans, broth, water and contents of reserved seasoning packet in 4-1/2 to 5-1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on HIGH 5 to 6 hours or on LOW 6 to 7 hours or until beef and beans are fork-tender. (No stirring is necessary during cooking.)
Step 3

Stir in pesto; mix well. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Serve topped with additional pesto, if desired.
Step 4

This recipe can be made in a 6-quart electric pressure cooker. Place sorted beans and water in pressure cooker. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 10 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Use quick-release feature to release pressure; carefully remove lid. Add Stew Meat, seasoning packet and broth. Close and lock pressure cooker lid. Use beef, stew or high-pressure setting on pressure cooker; program 25 minutes on pressure cooker timer. Release pressure and carefully remove lid. Continue as directed in step 3. (This recipe variation was tested in an electric pressure cooker at high altitude. Cooking at an altitude of less than 3000 feet may require slightly less cooking time. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.)
