This Spanish beef stew with red wine and cinnamon sauce is totally mouthwatering. As often in the Spanish cuisine, the sauce for the stew is made with a mix Spanish and Arabic spices, which gives its special taste that surprises and delights at the same time.
This is a perfect recipe for dinner with friends, family meeting and even for a romantic dinner. It is very easy to prepare, but I advise you to prepare the stew the night before, and then re-heat when you are ready, with a bit of rice or potatoes. Stews are always better after one night in the fridge, and that way you can enjoy the dinner with the guests.

Bon appétit!
