Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 lbs stewing beef
5 tablespoons oil
2 -3 onions, minced
5 -6 cups low sodium beef broth
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1 -2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 cup raisins or 1/4 cup currants
4 black peppercorns
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 teaspoons wine vinegar
1 pinch saffron
Directions:
1. In a wide dish, stir salt and pepper into flour. Dredge beef in seasoned flour.
2. Heat 3 Tbsp oil in large heavy-bottomed pot until shimmering. Brown beef cubes on all sides. Be sure not to crowd the pot or beef will not brown. Remove beef to a plate as each batch finishes.
3. Heat remaining oil in same pot. Add onions and saute until soft. Return meat to pot, add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is tender (about an hour to an hour and 15 minutes).
