Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Ongeveer 2 min
4
Brown the beef in batches on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set aside.
Ongeveer 8 min
Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the pot to ensure proper browning.
5
Add the onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Ongeveer 7 min
6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Ongeveer 1 min

Bake for 90 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
Ongeveer 1 uur 30 min
11
Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the orzo pasta.
Ongeveer 2 min
12
Add more hot water or broth if the mixture seems too dry, ensuring the orzo is mostly submerged.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: The orzo will absorb a lot of liquid.
13
Return the pot to the oven, uncovered, and bake for another 20-30 minutes, or until the orzo is cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Ongeveer 30 min
Tip van de kok: Stir occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking.
14
Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick before serving.
Ongeveer 1 min
15
Let the giouvetsi rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Ongeveer 10 min
Tip van de kok: This allows the flavors to meld and the orzo to fully absorb the sauce.
