Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['dairy_free'], recipe: season the beef with salt and pepper. place butter in the bottom of a large crockpot. add the meat and turn to coat with butter. arrange the onions over the meat. mix the tomato paste through the garlic, and pour over the meat and onions, but do not stir. add the bay leaf through the raisins; do not stir. simmer on low 8-10 hours. at serving time, remove the bay leaf, cinnamon stick and cloves and stir the stifado gently to blend.

Target recipe: brown meat in oil in a large skillet. in a crockpot add enough water to cover ribs( note the store will cut them in half if you ask them to) place the ribs in the crockpot before you go to bed with all the spices and cook all night on low. in the morning pull out the ribs and pull off the meat and chop up and then return to the crock.. add the rest of the stuff and let it cook all day on low. make sure there is enough water to cover everything. a nice loaf of fresh italian bread will work nicely with this. using the ribs take a little more work but the taste is so much more than using beef cubes....
