This is a delicious ethnic variation on classic beef stew. I think the cinnamon gives it a unique and delicious flavor. Adults and kids we have served this to both loved it. I adapted this from Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything.

  • 2 bay leaves

Direcciones

  1. Heat a large casserole or deep skillet (that can later be covered) over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes; add the oil,
  2. Add the meat chunks to the skillet a few at a time, turning to brown well on all sides. Do not crowd or they will not brown properly; cook them in batches if necessary. Season the meat with salt and pepper as it cooks.
  3. When the meat is brown, remove it with a slotted spoon. Add a little more oil if needed and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until they soften, about 6 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Add the stock, water and wine, bay leaf, thyme, cinnamon, cloves, tomato paste, vinegar, and meat, and bring to a boil.
  4. Using a spatula, scrape all the onions and sauce into a slow cooker. Add the potatoes, carrots, minced garlic and the browned meat. Set to low and cook for 6-10 hours.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve over orzo or bulgar pilaf.

      This looks like a keeper, John. Greek foods are my favourite, so will give it a try and let you know how it turned out.
