Ingredients
Instructions
Place a pot filled with water over high heat until boiling.

Let boil for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove and blend.
Meanwhile, dice the beef. Set aside.
Heat a pot over medium heat and pour half of the oil.
Once heated, sear the beef for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until browned. Remove and set aside.

Add the red wine, the blended tomato and cover. Bring to a boil and lower to medium heat for five more minutes.
Add the beef, salt, bay leaves, cumin, cloves and cinnamon. Stir, cover and cook for 1 hour over low heat.
