Instructions

1. Season the beef pieces all over with salt and pepper.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, without overcrowding, then remove it and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining olive oil in the same pot and brown the shallots on all sides until golden.
4. Add the garlic, tomato paste and allspice, and cook for 1 minute.
5. Add the beef and red wine, and cook for 1–2 minutes to deglaze the pot.
6. Add the chopped tomatoes, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and cloves.
7. Add enough water to just 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.
