Cooking steps
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
- 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.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat with another drizzle of oil.
- Add the shallot, garlic and a pinch of cinnamon 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.
TIP: Taste and add more cinnamon if desired.
- 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.
