Stefado (Greek Beef Stew With Small Onions)

Stefado (Greek Beef Stew With Small Onions)


1. Brown beef cubs in olive oil in a large Dutch oven.

2. Remove and set aside.

3. Mix sugar into the drippings and add the onions, cooking until golden.

4. Return beef to the pot.

5. Mix in tomato paste, wine, wine vinegar, garlic, dill seed and rosemary.

6. Place cinnamon and bay leaf in a spice bag of cheesecloth (or just add it and remember to fish them out of the stew later).

7. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours or until tender (I usually have to add about a cup of water about halfway through).

8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Alternatively, you can bake this at 275 degrees F in your oven; adjust times accordingly, if needed.
