Stifado-Greek Red Wine Beef Stew

September 9, 2025 by Camila

🔥 How to Make It

1. Brown the beef: Dredge in flour and sear until golden.
2. Sauté aromatics: Cook garlic and onions until fragrant.
3. Deglaze with wine: Scrape up all the flavorful bits.
4. Simmer low and slow: Add tomato paste, spices, and stock. Cook covered for 2–3 hours until the beef is melt-in-your-mouth tender1.
5. Finish with pearl onions: Sauté separately and stir in for the final 45 minutes.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

• Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, orzo, or polenta.
• Pair with Tiropita (Greek cheese pie) for a crispy contrast.
• A glass of the same red wine used in the stew? Absolutely.
