BRAISED BEEF AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• 2. Pat meat dry. Stir together allspice, 2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper in a small bowl and rub all over meat.
• 3. Spread half of onions and half of garlic in a 13 by 9-inch roasting pan and arrange meat on top. Spread remaining onions and garlic over meat. Tightly cover pan with heavy-duty foil and roast, turning meat over after 1 hour, until meat is very tender, about 2 to 2-1/2 hours total.
• 4. Skim fat from pan juices. Slice meat across the grain and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with onions and pan juices.
