Got a great one for slow cooker but could be done in oven:

1 tbsp veg oil
2lbs stewing steak, cubed
3 large onions
4 cloves garlic
1/2 teasp cinnamon
1/2 teasp allspice
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tin tomates - pureed
1 teasp sugar
1 bayleaf
1 block crumbled feta

1. Brown beef in oil and put in slow cooker
2. Brown onions until soft, add garlic and spices and cook 1 minute
3. Add vinegar, tomates, sugar and bayleaf
4. Add it all to the meat and cook. (Helpfully I don't have length of time it needs cooking )
5. Add feta 10 mins before serving
6. Enjoy!!

Haven't made it for ages but its lovely and making me drool - time for bed or I'm going to raid the cupboards

i will have a search through my cookery books tomorrow..got a wonderful recipe from a greek friend and it tastes gorgeous.

Ive seen the JO one and was going to follow that but if you have a more authentic one ALYPALY I'd love to see that - Im planning on cooking this for tom evening but I think you ahve to marinate the beef overnight

marking my spot on this thread - I'm going to make this next week!

2lbs stewing steak
2 medium onions
3 cloves garlic,crushed
4 tbsp tomato puree

Stir in tomato puree,wine ,red wine vinegar and sugar and return the meat to the pan.

Tie cloves,cumin seeds and cinnamon in a piece of muslin and put in casserole with bay leaves.
