Necessary ingredients:

- 200 g lamb steak (it can be a leftover piece from a previous meal)
- 200 g pork steak (bone-in chop, ideal for use in this recipe)
- 200 g chicken steak (boneless thighs, perfectly cooked)
- 2-3 green onions (for a fresh taste)
- 2-3 green garlic stalks (adds a distinctive flavor)
- 2-3 tablespoons sunflower oil (to sauté the vegetables)
- 400 g frozen green beans (this is the perfect choice for your convenience)
- 1/2 bunch of fresh dill (for freshness)
- 4-5 fresh coriander stalks (optional but recommended for an extra flavor)
- 3-4 fresh parsley stalks (for garnish)
- Iodized salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground pepper (for an intense flavor)
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika (for color and flavor)
- 250 ml Panacris broth (or homemade broth for an authentic taste)

Preparation - Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by cleaning the green onions and garlic. Cut the onion into thin rings and the garlic into small pieces. These will provide the flavorful base of your dish.

2. Cooking the vegetables: In a large skillet, add 2-3 tablespoons of sunflower oil. Heat the oil over medium heat and add the sliced onion and garlic. Sauté them for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and release their flavors.

3. Adding the meat: Meanwhile, cut the lamb, pork, and chicken steaks into small pieces. Add them to the skillet over the sautéed onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with a lid and let them simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. This step is essential for the flavors to blend perfectly.

4. Adding the beans: After the meat has cooked lightly, add the frozen green beans and complete with about 1 cup of water. Cover the skillet again and let it boil for 15 minutes. The green beans will soften and absorb the delicious flavors from the meat.

5. Finalizing the dish: After the beans have cooked, add the sweet paprika and broth. Mix the ingredients well and let it boil for another 2-3 minutes. At this point, add the finely chopped greens: dill, coriander, and parsley. These will bring a note of freshness and an extra splash of color to the dish.

6. Serving: Serve the green beans with meat hot, alongside a slice of homemade bread or a portion of polenta. This combination will turn the meal into a true feast of flavors.

Practical tips:

- Choosing the meat: Use previously cooked meats, as this will reduce preparation time and add an authentic flavor to the dish. If you don't have cooked meat, you can use fresh meat, but you will need to cook it more thoroughly.
- Green beans: If you don't have frozen green beans, you can use fresh beans, but make sure to boil them separately before adding them to the recipe.
- Spices: Don't hesitate to experiment with your favorite spices. You can add a hint of chili or cumin for a spicier taste.
- Serving: Offer the dish with a splash of lemon juice for a perfect contrast of flavors.
