(Greek Beef Stew) Recipe
Ingredients

* 6 pounds chuck roast, cut into large chunks
* 1/2 cup olive oil
* 1 teaspoon white sugar
* 6 pounds small white onions, cleaned and scored
* 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
* 1/2 cup red wine
* 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
* 6 cloves garlic
* 1 teaspoon whole pickling spices
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 cinnamon stick
* 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
* to taste, salt and pepper

Serves / Yields

10 - 12 servings
Preparation Instructions

In a large soup pot, cook beef in oil until browned. Remove beef, and set aside. Mix sugar into the drippings, add onions, and cook until golden. Remove onions from pan.

Return beef to the pot, and place onions on top. Mix the tomato paste, wine, and wine vinegar together, and add to saucepan. Place the garlic, pickling spices, bay leaf, cinnamon, and rosemary in a spice bag; add to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, adding more liquid if necessary.
Helpful Hints

The onions let out liquid as they cook, so be careful not to add too much water at the beginning. When stew is done, remember to remove the spice bag.

If you prefer, you can cook this in a roaster, in your oven, at 275 degrees F(135 degrees C). Watch the time though; it may take longer.

Answer 3

I'm a real fan of videojug. Take a look. Loads of recipes and videos to accompany them.

I've not done Greek but in Cyprus we've always had a selection of dips, tzatziki, houmous, taramasalata, olives, feta cheese, grilled halloumi, beetroot and garlic salad. Greek Salads, pitta breads. Moussaka, Kleftico(baked lamb), Souvlaki(chunked meat kebab), Sheftalia(pork sausage), Stifado(Beef Stew), Afelia(pork), squid or octopus, Spanakopita(spinach pie), rice pilaff, stuffed vine leaves (dolmades), stuffed tomatoes. Any fish too. Maybe finish with a baklava or fruit and a strong sweet coffee

Wow, I'm hungry
