Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
2
Season the beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
Aproximativ 2 min.
3
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Aproximativ 2 min.
4
Brown the beef in batches on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set aside.
Aproximativ 8 min.
Nota bucătarului: Do not overcrowd the pot to ensure proper browning.
5
Add the onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Aproximativ 7 min.
6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
7
Return the browned beef to the pot.
8
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and beef broth, then add the bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and oregano.
Aproximativ 1 min.
9
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Aproximativ 5 min.
10
Bake for 90 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
Aproximativ 1 oră 30 min.
11
Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the orzo pasta.
Aproximativ 2 min.
12
Add more hot water or broth if the mixture seems too dry, ensuring the orzo is mostly submerged.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: 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.
Aproximativ 30 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking.
14
Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
15
Let the giouvetsi rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Aproximativ 10 min.
Nota bucătarului: This allows the flavors to meld and the orzo to fully absorb the sauce.
16
Serve hot, garnished with grated kefalotyri cheese if desired.
Aproximativ 1 min.
