Beef Stifado

This is a Greek version of a generic Mediterranean dish. It is a nice hearty dish.

Preheat your oven to 150C

In a little oil brown cubed two pounds of beef in a flameproof pot with a lid. Then add 8oz onions and two garlic cloves finely chopped and crushed. After these have cooked down a bit add one tin of tomatoes. At this point add the rest of the ingrendients: two tablespoons of tomato puree, the juice of one lemon, one tablespoon of Oregano, a pinch of thyme, one teaspoon of sugar and salt and pepper. Pour water in to just cover the beef. Put in the oven and cook until the beef is really tender - two to three hours. Stir every hour or so. While this is cooking the kitchen will have some nice cooking smells.
