Crock Pot Beef Stifado image

Another variation of this lovely Greek stew. I used to make this on the stove-top and in the oven, I have now adapted it for my crock pot. Most time goes into cleaning the small onions and I do this the evening before. If you don't want to be bothered with that substitute a large chopped onion.

This recipe is not worth your time. The beef was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it didn't turn out well. Don't waste your time and money on this recipe.
