You're awesome. I love your easy no fuss approach to delicious Greek cooking. I'm a chef of 43 years and I learn something new each time I see you. KALI OREXI
I had Stifado for the first time in 2013 when I went with my family to Rhodes, and we loved the dish so much that we learned the recipe and brought it back to Norway, haha. Amazing food. 😋
Stifado has been in my soup and stew winter rotation for a long while now! You've made yours with a better rustic elegance than i usually do! Great video!
My next weekend experiment. My grandma used to make this when i was in Greece, she would add a big chunk of creamy feta to the plate too when serving was so good.
i was looking for a new beef stew recipe and found this one! made this today, and can heartily recommend it! adding the shallots last so they don't fall apart completely really adds to the overall texture. somehow the sauce ends up really nice and thick even if i don't add a separate binding agent like flour or starch at all, which i usually have to do with tomato based sauces. huge success with my family! thank you!
This recipe is really delicious. The spices blend so well and none of them overpowers the other flavors. This will be a regular at my house. Thanks for the great recipe.
I made it with pork chops all cut up. Put bones in too for flavour. Used white balsamic vinegar as its all i had. Used brown sugar and no chili flakes. Delicious!!! Thanks for inspiration. I just used what i had. I can seldom afford beef
If you’re in the UK stock up with big beef joints and lamb legs just before Christmas and Easter when the supermarkets are competing to sell them off at half price. I always try and buy enough to last all year. Look out for half priced pork loin and gammon too.
When i was younger my grandma used to make it with rabbit and i hated it. Then i went to live in greece for a while and tried it with beef and it was the most delicious stifado i ever had. 😋🇦🇺
I make a similar beef onion stew but with pearl onions, much less tomato, and a touch of cumin only for spice. This stifado recipe with the hot pepper flakes, cinnamon, cloves, and sugar sounds more Persian than Greek.
I've made another very close version of this dish that was similar, only that variation had more clove, which i found overpowering in the final tastes. The shallot however, was a compliment to the dish. That variation called for them to be chopped, so flavors even more pronounced! Anyhow, unless you are not a shallot fan, I would highly recommend staying with the recommended addition. Onion will change the dish too much, which is why pearl onion is the recommended sub for those shallots. If you were to make any changes, I'd recommend half the shallot and add pearl onion in place. 😊
Stifado is better made without browning the beef and far less tomatoes. I has a better lighter flavor. Use plenty of spices and wine. This one is more like Kokinisto, also very good.

Μπράβο Δήμητρα! I will totally agree with the experienced Chef!
This looks amazing, I would love it for sure 😋 The cinnamon in the tomato sauce is just such a unique and delicious combination.
yummmm this looks absolutely delicious.
I love pearl onions and shallots, i might even use both haha 😂❤🧅🧅🧅
Why not? Everything is better with shallots
@@LindaC616 -- agreed!! 😄✨
Looks delicious. Have to try. Thanks for sharing
God Bless. A nice salad would go well with this dish❤😂🎉

αυτό είναι όμορφο!!
Just letting you know that you haven't included the beef in your ingredients list, but it looks delicious as usual.
Are you referring to a written list or the video? In the video, she states the beef used is chuck arm roast.
@@rkfarms7415 the written list, but like you I also watched and worked it out. 😊
U can also replace the beef with chicken. Traditionally made with rabbit and no chilli flakes😊
Your enameled pot looks round bottomed…where did you get that please? The Stifado looks AMAZING!
Possibly my favourite ever Greek dish! (Minus the garlic!)
Tastyyy
Do you happen to have a lamb version of a similar stew?
I have no doubt this dish is great. But 24 shallots seem excessive even for a beef stew?
Wrong. Make this all the time, especially with venison.

It really needs that sweet pearl onion flavor. It is as much an onion dish as a beef dish.
I would chop those onions and go light on the vinegar tomato paste is plenty tart
👍👍👍
So my yia yia would put potatoes at what point would you add them?
No beef listed …?
In my country we call it "estofado"
♥️🥂

Orange peel
I'll be making this for sure but with Yorkshire Puddings and Potatoes roasted in Duck Fat 😋😋😋 without the cinnamon crap 🤮🤮 😉
Say what??? You are making a Greek dish turn into an English Dish!!! LOL LOL
