Stifado is a beef stew with tomato, baby onions and red wine. You do need to marinate the meat in the wine, along with cinnamon, garlic, bay and orange, the day before cooking. Baby (or pickling) onions are a pain to peel, but if you cover them with boiling water for a few minutes, the skin comes off more easily. This dish is great served with orzo – short-cut pasta which looks like a large grain of rice.
