Greek stifado is a beef stew and my all-time favorite Greek dish. Chunks of tender beef are cooked with shallots in a rich, aromatic tomato sauce. Serve with boiled rice and a good supply of crusty bread to mop up the decadent sauce!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil , divided
2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
1 large onion , roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic , crushed
1 can diced tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
1 cinnamon stick , 3 inch

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1⁄16 teaspoon ground black pepper , or to taste

1 cup red wine
2 tablespoons vinegar

Instructions

1

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add beef, onion, and garlic; cook and stir until meat is browned on all sides and onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Add tomatoes, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Stir in wine and vinegar.

Pour beef mixture into a slow cooker and stir in ketchup. Cover and cook on Low until beef is tender, 6 to 8 hours.
