Beef stew with red sauce and pasta
Some of the recipes are but classic. There are so many modifications around those recipes that are sometimes difficult to keep up.
I cant even remember the amount of different combinations my mother made with beef stew and red sauce. To be honest it doesn’t really matter as there were always nice
You can have beef with peas or okra or just with chips. I think if you take a look in a Greek recipe book you will find so many modifications that after a while you will be really bored of cooking
On the other hand if you do it right then you always have a nice dish that you can enjoy for yourself or your friends.
Well either way that’s another modification that I did recently and one I did believe it really worth the effort as it is really easy to make as most of the nice foods. Really important thing is the pasta on this one, to be honest I don’t remember how this pasta is called but well you can find it I guess. I just enjoy the small pasta combined with meat.

Casserole Beef with Peas
The following is a simple recipe for a casserole meat with peas. Its not basically a really Greek Food as I believe its more or less the same all around the world but we were doing it in my family so I have to consider it Greek.
Ok here it goes
INGREDIENTS
- 1 teaspoon of Olive Oil
- 350gr of Onions finely cut
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tomato juice can
- 1 vegetable stock cube
- 300 gr of Peas
- Salt and Pepper
- 1200gr of Beef in cubes
- 100ml of red wine
Shiny peas with beef casserole HOW YOU DO IT?
Just add Salt and Pepper to the beef. In a big pot, add the olive oil and heat it up.
Add the onions and the beef. Stir well until it becomes brownish from all sides. Add the garlic and the tomato juice.
Stir well for 2 mins and then throw in the glass of red wine. Lower the heat and let it boil for 2-3 minutes. Add the peas and cover it with water.
Continue to boil until the water vaporizes and the beef softens up.
Tips: You can add deal on top of it as it creates a distinct flavour or garlic in the beginning for a more…”heavy” one.. You can add more vegetables like potatoes etc etc but that just increases the boiling time.
Enjoy!
