Ingredients (3.5 hours)

• 1kg (2.2lb) stewing beef (I used a cut from the round)
• 8 bacon slices
• 10 shallots
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 medium onions
• 3 carrots
• 1 bunch of parsley
• 1 tablespoon vinegar 
• olive oil, salt, pepper, water, q.s.

Instructions (Time: 2 hours)

Start by chopping the onions and the parsley. Smash the garlic cloves.

Place the bacon on the bottom of a pot and add some olive oil.

Add the chopped onions, the parsley, the garlic, the vinegar and season with pepper.

Rub the piece of meat with salt and add it to the pan. Add 3 tablespoons of water.

Cover your pot and let it cook for 1h30 on low heat.

Add the shallots and the carrots, cover the pot and let cook for 1h30 more. Check from time to time and add water to the pot (1 or 2 tablespoons) if it starts to dry.

Slice the meat and serve!
