Beef Stew With Bouquet Garni

Salt and Pepper Chopped Fresh Parsley Marinated Beef: In a deep bowl, combine 1 clove garlic, crushed peppercorns, allspice, 1 ts salt, and wine. Stir to dissolve salt. Add beef cubes, pressing cubes down into marinade to immerse as much as possible. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Remove beef and garlic from marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving marinade. Pat beef and garlic dry on paper towels. Beef Stew: In a 6 litre non-reactive oven-going pot, heat olive oil and garlic over medium-high heat. Add meat in 2 batches, searing meat on all sides until deep brown. Return all meat to pot. Pour in reserved marinade and beef boullion. Add bouquet garni. Bring to a boil. Boil gently for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350�F. Layer carrots, onions, turnips and mushrooms atop meat mixture in casserole. Cover and bake at 350�F for 1.5 hours until meat and vegetables are tender. Remove bouquet garni. Stir in frozen peas. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and bake 4-5 minutes until peas are cooked. Spoon stew and cooking juices into individual serving bowls. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
