Recipe Introduction
"Stefado is a delicious Greek beef stew made with small onions, tomato paste, red wine and spices (typically bay leaf and cinnamon). It's super-easy and is scrumptious over rice or a heap of mashed potatoes."
List of Ingredients
3 lbs chuck roast, cut into chunks
4 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
1 teaspoon Splenda
2 cups white pearl onions, peeled
1 (6.00 ounces) can Low-Sodium tomato paste
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dill seeds
1 bay leaf
1 small cinnamon stick
3/4 teaspoon crushed dried rosemary
pepper Recipe
1. Brown beef cubs in olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Or lightly coat a heavy non-stick skillet or 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 pepper to taste.
9. Alternatively, you can bake this at 275 degrees F in your oven; adjust times accordingly, if needed.
