Instructions:
Instructions: In a flameproof casserole large enough to place beef in 1 layer, heat oil.

Add bacon and saute until crisp; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add beef and cook until evenly browned. Add onions and toss in oil for 1 minute.

Add 1/2 of oregano and parsley, bay leaf, garlic, wine and water. Cover and simmer 2 hours. Add bacon and olives and continue cooking 45 minutes-the stew should be fairly liquid.

Mix together bread crumbs, lemon peel and remaining herbs and add to stew.

Cook, uncovered, 10 to 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Discard bay leaf. Garnish with oregano sprigs and serve with fresh bread and green salad.

Variation: Thyme can be added to this casserole for a stronger, more aromatic flavor. Substitute 1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme for 1/2 of oregano.
