Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
Sear the Beef Strips
2
  • Place a large pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once the pan is very hot, sear the beef strips until cooked through, shifting as they colour, 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat and its packaging. Meat is safe to eat when the outside is browned. 
  • Once browned, remove the beef from the pan and set aside.
Cook the Orzo
3
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil
  • Add the shallot, garlic and half a sachet of cinnamon (per 2P) and cook until softened, 3-4 mins.
  • Pop in the orzo, chopped tomatoes, red wine jus, muscat, 300ml water (per 2P), stock, ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and a knob of butter.
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the orzo is al dente, 15-20 mins. Stir every 3-4 mins to prevent sticking.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Once the orzo is cooked, stir through the beef strips.
  • Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
  • Divide the Giouvetsi between bowls.
  • Scatter the cheese over the top.
