CROCK POT BEEF STIFADO



Crock Pot Beef Stifado image

Another variation of this lovely Greek stew. I used to make this on the stove-top and in the oven, I have now adapted it for my crock pot. Most time goes into cleaning the small onions and I do this the evening before. If you don't want to be bothered with that substitute a large chopped onion.

I have cooked many traditional recipes from many cook books that I've brought home from Greek holidays but I always return to this recipe for its great flavours and ease to cook.
