Ingredients

  • 2 (2 lb) beef chuck, pot roasts (well-marbled boneless 1 1/2 inches thick)
  • 2 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 lbs onions, halved lengthwise, then thinly sliced lengthwise (6 cups)
  • 6 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Method

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Pat meat dry. Stir together allspice, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and rub all over meat.
  • 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 foil and roast, turning meat over after 1 hour, until meat is very tender, about 2 1/2 hours total.
  • Skim fat from pan juices. Slice meat across the grain and sprinkle with parsley. Serve with onions and pan juices.
  • note:
  • Beef can be braised 2 days ahead. Cool meat in juices, uncovered, then slice and chill in juices, covered. Reheat, covered, in a 350°F oven 30 to 40 minutes.
