Cyprian Stifado

==Description==
==Ingredients==
*4 tablespoons olive oil
*1 small sprig of rosemary
*1 kg tender Beef, cut into large cubes
*900 ml water
*2 tablespoons tomato puree
*salt and black pepper
*3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
*4-6 tablespoons vegetable oil
*700 gr. small onions (the pickling size), peeled and left whole
*1 small glass red wine
*5 cm cinnamon stick
*1 teaspoon demerara sugar
*5 grains allspice
==Directions==
# Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan and brown the meat in it. It will produce a lot of moisture but persevere until it has all evaporated and the meat starts to turn golden.
#Slowly pour the vinegar over it and, when the steam subsides, add the wine.
#Then add all the remaining ingredients except the vegetable oil, onions and Sugar, cover and cook slowly for 1 hour or until the meat is almost tender.
#Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and add as many onions in one layer as it will take. Sautee them gently for about 15 minutes, shaking and turning them over until they brown lightly.
#Lift them out with a slotted spoon and spread them over the meat, distributing them evenly. Repeat until all the onions are done.
#Sprinkle the Sugar over the onions, cover and cook very gently for 30 minutes, until the onions are soft but not disintegrating.
#Do not stir once the onions have been added, but rotate the saucepan occasionally to coat them in the sauce.
