Made this today in the slow cooker and my 15yr old son said it was as good as the Giouvetsi he had in Crete. I used powdered cinnamon as mentioned above.

Now to work my way through the rest of your recipes, as we all love Greek food, especially after eating proper Greek food in Zante, Crete and Cyprus. Stifado will be my next recipe attempt this week.

In reply to Eli K. Giannopoulos. I spent years with my mother in law watching over her shoulder exactly how she did everything your recipes are so very authentically Greek.

I’ve made this a few times, and it’s really delicious! However, I can never seem to get the meat tender…. Is there a certain cut of stew meat, or maybe I should cook longer than the recipe says? Or browning too long? (I probably needed to do the browning in batches)
