3 tablespoons flour

10 whole allspice or 2 teaspoons ground allspice
2 bay leaves
2 ¹⁄₄ cups water or 2 1/4 cups beef broth

directions

Coat the beef with flour and salt.
In a large, heavy pot or dutch oven, melt the butter.
Sauté the meat until browned on all sides.
Add the onions and sauté for a few minutes with the meat.
Add allspice, bay leaves, and water, and stir well, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan well.
Add carrots, cover, and allow to simmer over low heat until meat is tender (1-1 1/2 hours).
Stir occasionally to keep from sticking, and if needed, add more water.
Add potatoes, and return to boiling; cook until potatoes are tender (1/2 hour).
