Brown the beef in batches on all sides, then remove it from the pot and set aside.

Remove the pot from the oven and stir in the orzo pasta.

Add more hot water or broth if the mixture seems too dry, ensuring the orzo is mostly submerged.
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: 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.
Približno 30 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Stir occasionally to prevent the orzo from sticking.

Remove the bay leaves and cinnamon stick before serving.
Približno 1 min
15
Let the giouvetsi rest for 10 minutes before serving.
