Beef Stifado
I used to make this on the stove over very low heat, but since i got a crockpot, i use that. This is good served over white or brown rice.
Steps
Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Place butter in the bottom of a large crockpot.
Add the meat and turn to coat with butter.
Arrange the onions over the meat.
Mix the tomato paste through the garlic , and pour over the meat and onions , but do not stir.
Add the bay leaf through the raisins.
Do not stir.
Simmer on low 8-10 hours.
At serving time , remove the bay leaf , cinnamon stick and cloves and stir the stifado gently to blend.
