1/4 lb Bacon
2 lb Round steak
2 Cloves garlic
2 T Chopped parsley
1 pn Ground cloves
1 pn Allspice
3 T Red wine vinegar
2 1/2 c Red wine
6 Medium onions
6 Medium carrots
Salt & pepper to taste
3 T Oil
2 T Brandy
1 pn Thyme
1 Sprigs parsley
1 pn Rosemary
1 Small orange

Cut meat into 2 inch cubes. Dice the bacon. Skin and
crush the garlic, using the tip of a firm knife, in a
pinch of salt on the chopping board, or use a garlic
press; blend with the chopped parsley, cloves,
and allspice. Put the meat into a dish, and add the
wine vinegar, wine, and garlic spice mixture.
Peel and thinly slice one third of the onions
and carrots, add to the marinade with a little salt
and pepper. Leave for at least 12 hours turning
occasionally. Peel the remaining onions and carrots,
quarter the onions but leave the carrots whole.
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet, fry the
diced bacon and quartered onions until golden
brown, and spoon into a casserole.
Remove the meat from the marinade, drain well.
Brown meat in the oil remaining in the pan and add
to the onions. Pour the marinade liquid and
vegetables into the skillet and stir well to absorb
the last of the oil. Add the whole carrots, brandy,
and herbs. Cut the zest from the orange and squeeze a
little orange juice and add this and the zest to the
sauce. Season the sauce with a little salt and
pepper. Pour over the meat and onions, cover the
casserole. Cook in the center of a slow (350 d F)
for 2 1/4 hours. To serve, remove the garni.
This dish is particularly good when served with
spaghetti, macaroni, or noodles, topped with butter,
grated cheese and a little chopped parsley.
