A delightful twist on a classic braised beef recipe, enhanced with caramelized onions and aromatic spices.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and position the rack in the middle.
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Pat the beef chuck dry with paper towels and rub it with the allspice, salt, and pepper.
Drying the beef helps the seasoning stick better.
Slice the onions and garlic cloves thinly.
Thin slices ensure the onions and garlic cook evenly.
Spread half of the onions and garlic in the roasting pan, place the beef on top, and cover with the remaining onions and garlic.
Layering the onions and garlic enhances the flavor.
Cover the pan tightly with foil and roast in the oven for 2.5 hours, turning the beef halfway through.
Turning the beef ensures even cooking and flavor distribution.
Remove the beef from the oven, skim off any fat from the pan juices, and slice the beef across the grain.
Slicing against the grain keeps the meat tender.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with the onions and pan juices.
Adding fresh parsley brightens the dish.
