🇬🇷🥘 Stifado is Greece’s answer to comfort food—an aromatic, slow-cooked beef stew infused with red wine, tomatoes, and a medley of warming spices. What sets it apart? The generous use of pearl onions, which caramelize and melt into the sauce, giving it a subtle sweetness that balances the richness of the beef and wine.
