Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup red wine
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 pound pearl onions, peeled
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the beef chunks and brown on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
