beef stifado
main courses
serves 4
In Greece, stifado is usually served with hilopittes (egg pasta) or orzo (rice-shaped grains of pasta)
1 Place beef in a large non-reactive bowl. Add marinade ingredients, cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
2 Heat oil over medium heat in a large saucepan and sauté the onions for 5 minutes or until softened. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Sauté the beef, reserving the marinade, for about 8–10 minutes or until browned on all sides. Return onions to the saucepan, add the marinade mixture, tomatoes and tomato purée and enough water to just cover the stew. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to the boil then simmer for 1½–2 hours or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Serve with pasta and grated cheese.

Allspice berries are also called Jamaican pepper, or Pimento, I haven't seen them in UK supermarkets, but you can buy them online.
You can get Ground Allspice in the supermarkets (not to be confused with Mixed Spice!)

Now, the dish prepared and served with hilopittes (egg pasta) or with Kritharaki / orzo (rice-shaped grains of pasta) is called Giouvetsi and is either beef, veal, or lamb cooked in a clay pot.
