What is Stifado anyway?

Stifado is a Greek beef stew. Since it is already a one-pan dish by nature, Stifado is ideal for making in the slow cooker. The base consists of beef, onions, tomato and herbs. But there's more that goes into making it really tasty. Below you will find the full recipe. If you've made this slow cooker recipe, I'm of course very curious what you think. Will you let me know?

I have now been informed by Eetspiratie that Moniek has used her recipe to make. No problem of course, but a bit annoying that I didn't know that and I thought the recipe was hers. The ingredients of this recipe come from Eetspiratie. If you want to make the recipe, you can also read on her site how she made the Stifado. In the short term I will make the Stifado myself and give it my own twist. You can also read about that preparation method here.
