GREEK STYLE BEEF STEW



Greek Style Beef Stew image

Excellent in a pressure cooker! I tried it once in a slow cooker: not as flavorful. I adapted a recipe that came with my pressure cooker. It is also known as Stifado if you use pearl onions, but I didn't have any and had to use yellow onion. I have to add potatoes and carrots! Be very careful with the amounts of salt, cinnamon and ground cloves. Works very well with moose or venison. I serve it with J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits (try making those with buttermilk). Yum!

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
1 onion, peeled and chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ cup red wine
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ cup fat-free reduced-sodium beef broth
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon dried oregano
6 whole black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons light brown sugar
1 (28 ounce) can whole plum tomatoes, undrained and quartered
½ cup water
2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
¼ teaspoon salt to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a 5-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add half the beef; cook and stir until well browned on all sides. Remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Brown the remaining meat and set aside.
  • Place chopped onion in the pressure cooker; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add the garlic and stir for an additional minute. Pour in the red wine, red wine vinegar, and beef broth; stir in the tomato paste and mix well.
  • Grind or crush rosemary, oregano, and peppercorns in a mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Add crushed spices to the cooker with bay leaves, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and brown sugar.
  • Pour in tomatoes and their juice; rinse the can with 1/2 cup water and add the water to the cooker. Stir in potatoes and carrots. Return the browned meat to the pressure cooker. A 5-quart pot should be about half full and a little soupy; the potato will dissolve a bit and thicken it after cooking. Cover the pot and seal the lid.
  • Bring the pot up to high pressure over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let the pressure reduce naturally. Taste the stew and add salt, if desired.

Time 2h56m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds flank steak
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 English cucumber, chopped

8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup marinade for vegetables; pour remainder over steak and turn to coat. Seal bag. Chill at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Try to use organic produce and free-range meat whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly and will result in steamed beef instead of seared beef.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the beef is cooked to your desired doneness, use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the beef and cook until it reaches the desired internal temperature.
  • Let the Beef Rest: Once the beef is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the beef, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
  • Season Vegetables Generously: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables generously. This will help to bring out their natural flavors and make them more enjoyable.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The vegetables will be at their peak freshness and flavor, and the beef will be juicy and tender.

Conclusion:

This Greek-style beef dinner and vegetables is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The beef is seared to perfection and the vegetables are roasted until they are tender and flavorful. Served with a side of tzatziki sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
