Cut the mushrooms large, slice the carrots on the diagonal, and finely chop the garlic.
Brown the diced beef in vegetable oil for 12 minutes, until its juices evaporate.
Add 2 cups of hot water and cook the meat covered for 30 minutes.
Add the pearl onions, carrots, and garlic and stir for 5 minutes.
Add the flour, crushed mastic, thyme, salt, and black pepper to bind the sauce base.
Add the mushrooms and remaining hot water, then simmer the stew for 40 minutes over low heat.
Rest the dish for 10 minutes and serve with rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Stirring the flour in fat before it meets the meat juices keeps the sauce smooth.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot with village bread, pickles, and plain rice pilaf.
