Beef Stifado
Report
Beef stifado is a traditional and comforting beef stew that is ideal for cooler weather. Made with tender chunks of beef, red wine, baby onions, cinnamon and vinegar - it’s hearty and rich with a distinct aroma. Serve it over rice, mashed potatoes or noodles - and don’t forget the red wine!

Ingredients
- 1 kg chuck steak cut into even cubes
- 750 grams onions boiler onions / eschallots / baby onions (peeled)
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste heaped
FOR THE MARINADE:
- ¾ cup red wine
- 4 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 teaspoons allspice berries
- salt and freshly cracked pepper
Instructions
- Place the chuck steak in a non reactive bowl along with the marinade and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours or preferably overnight.
- Heat some olive oil in a large sauce pan and saute the eschalots for about 10 mins. We want them to soften a little and get lovely and caramelised. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Saute the chuck steak until it has browned in the same saucepan. Add the onions back along with the marinade mixture, the tomato paste and enough water to cover everything.
- Bring to the boil and then leave to simmer for about 2 hours or until the sauce has a lovely rich, thick consistency.
- Serve with some plain steamed rice and a big glass of Aussie shiraz!
