Like many other stews, this one has chunks of tender beef and onion, but it's enhanced by a touch of Greek spicing: oregano and the subtle yet homey flavour of cinnamon. It takes a while to simmer, so you'll have plenty of time to make Tender Baked Potatoes or Golden Roast Potatoes and corn or green beans to go alongside.
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 lb beef stewing cubes
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1/3 cup tomato paste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preparation
Cut beef into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In large saucepan, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; brown beef, in batches. Transfer to plate. Drain off any fat from pan.
Reduce heat to medium; add remaining oil to pan. Fry celery, onion, garlic, oregano and cinnamon, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in flour; cook for 1 minute. Stir in stock, 1 cup (250 mL) water and tomato paste, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Return beef and any accumulated juices to pan; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until beef is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Sprinkle with parsley.
