How to Make Greek Stew

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut 1.5 lbs cross rib or blade roast into 1-inch cubes, trimming excess fat. Place in a 6-quart Dutch oven.
  3. Cut 2 large onions lengthwise into wedges, leaving root end intact. Add to the Dutch oven along with 4 cloves minced garlic and 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons dried oregano, 1 tablespoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Pour mixture into the Dutch oven.
  5. Cover the Dutch oven and cook in the preheated oven until the beef is incredibly tender, approximately 3 hours.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cold water until smooth.
  7. Carefully remove 1/2 cup of the hot cooking liquid from the Dutch oven and whisk it into the flour mixture to create a slurry.
  8. Stir the flour slurry into the Dutch oven.
  9. Add 1 large green bell pepper, chopped, to the stew.
  10. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until the stew has thickened to your desired consistency.
  11. Serve hot, sprinkled generously with crumbled feta cheese and fresh parsley.
