Beef Stifado
Beef Stifado is a traditional Greek stew made with beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and a variety of aromatic spices like cinnamon and cloves. It’s slow-cooked until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together to create a rich and hearty dish.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef stew meat cut into chunks
- 4 onions sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 4 cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks and brown them on all sides. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.

- Return the beef to the pot and add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, red wine vinegar, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
