What Can You Make With 15 Bean Mix? Lean Beef and Kale Stew With 44g Protein
Date: 2026-10-07 21:30:29
The 15 bean mix is trending and this is exactly what to do with it. Lean beef sirloin and kale stew with the full 15 bean mix — 44 grams of protein per serving, 10 grams of fiber, and one of the most nutrient-dense stews you can make for meal prep. High protein, lasting energy, anti-inflammatory from the kale, and kid-friendly enough to bring to any potluck.
The technique that builds the depth here is the sear. Add the beef sirloin cubes to a hot pot in batches and let them sit untouched for 4 to 6 minutes before turning. That crust is where most of the flavor in the finished stew comes from. Once the wine reduces and everything goes into the oven at 325F for 2.5 hours the beans absorb all of that beef-and-wine-and-bacon-fat richness into every bite.
Soak your 15 bean mix overnight before cooking. At least 8 hours, up to 24. That step cuts the cook time significantly and helps the beans cook evenly throughout the stew. Skip it and some beans will be firm while others fall apart.
Fold the kale in off the heat at the end and cover for 10 to 15 minutes. It wilts without losing its nutrients and thickens the stew as it cools.
