Instructions

1. Season the beef pieces all over with the salt and black pepper.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches without crowding the pot, then set all the beef aside.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pot and sear the shallots until golden on all sides.
4. Add the garlic, tomato paste and allspice, stir and cook for 1 minute.
5. Return the beef to the pot, add the red wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes to deglaze.
6. Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves.
7. Add just enough water to barely cover the beef. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for about 2 hours, until the beef is tender and fully cooked.
