In a wide pan, heat the remaining oil. Fry the tenderloin packets for 2 minutes each side. Season with pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Put the remaining onions and the garlic into the pan. Sauté until lucent. Stir in the tomato purée and the thyme and cook stirring for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the peeled tomatoes, the stock and the cream and bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for a few minutes. Add the beans to the tomato sauce. Bring to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
