In a large saucepan, brown meat with olive oil. Add onions and garlic. Add crushed tomatoes, stirring well with meat, garlic and onion. Add cumin, coriander, salt and pepper, and allspice. Add water and tomato puree. Stir and combine well. Add green beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 hours, or until meat is tender and done.
