Instructions

1. Season the beef pieces with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, without crowding the pot, then set it 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, and cook for one minute.
5. Add the beef back with the red wine and cook for a minute or two to deglaze the pot.
6. Add the chopped tomatoes, then the bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves.
7. Add 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.
8. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or bread.
