Recipe type: Stew

Ingredients
  • 3-4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Pounds Beef Stew Meat (*see note)
  • 3 Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and crushed (or 2 Cups Tomato Sauce)
  • 1 small bag of pearl onions (or you can use 2 regular onions, roughly chopped)
  • 1 Green Pepper, chopped (I used some small sweet red, yellow and orange peppers)
  • 1 Teaspoon Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon salt
  • ½ Teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ Teaspoon oregano
  • 2 Cups Beef Broth or Water
Instructions
  1. Saute the onions and pepper in a large stockpot for 5-6 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the beef cubes and add to the stockpot. Saute for 5 minutes.
  3. Next, add the tomatoes, beef broth, salt, black pepper and oregano.
  4. Turn your oven on to 350 degrees.
  5. Simmer the stew until the oven is warm then transfer the stew to a güveç, which is a Turkish casserole dish. You can use a ceramic oven casserole dish if you do not have a güveç.
  6. Cook in the oven for 1 hour. Serve over vermicelli rice . Afiyet olsun!
  7. * Note: You can save a lot of money by buying a beef roast and cutting your meat yourself. It only takes a couple of minutes and you get more meat for the money.
