Recipe for beef stifado......a wonderful, slow-cooked Cyprus stewHere is a local recipe for beef stifado. Cypriot beef may not be of the best quality in terms of taste and lean-ness but the Cypriot people know how to make the best of this by making lots of stews. STIFADOBeef with red wine, onions and spices (serves 4 people)
Ingredients:
How to prepare beef stifadoPeel the onions and lightly fry in olive oil. Remove from pan then lightly fry the pieces of beef until slightly brown. Return the onions to the pan with all the other ingredients and enough water to cover the meat. Cook on a low heat (150 ° C)for 2-3 hours until the meat is very tender. When ready, the liquid should be almost completely absorbed. Add more water during the cooking time if necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley or oregano before serving. Serve with roast or mashed potatoes (mashed spuds are not very Cypriot but they go so well with the rich juices aroundthe meat). Enjoy. Mmm! Tip Feel free to increase the amount of wine for a richer flavour...unless this is a family meal of course... Kali Orexi! Related Pages:
