Ingredients

3 pounds stewing beef

1 1/2 pounds small onions (about 7)

3 cloves garlic minced

1 can tomatoes (28 oz)

1/2 cup beef stock

1 can tomato paste (5 1/2 oz/156ml)

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup water

1 sweet green peppers chopped

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Use 18- to 24- cup (4.5 L to 6 L) slow cooker; cook all but flour, water, green pepper; feta and parsley on Low for 8 to 9 hours, or cook on High for 6 hours. Add flour mixture and green pepper; cook on High for 10 to 15 minutes or until thickened. Serve sprinkled with feta and parsley.

NOTES : This classic stew packs a wallop of flavour with its onions, tomatoes, green pepper and splash of vinegar. Instead of stewing beef, you can also cut up a cross rib pot roast or blade pot roast,.
