SPICED ROUND OF BEEF

Steps:

• Serve with oven baked potatoes.
• Put the coriander seeds in a mortar and pound them with a pestle.
• Stir in the rest of the spices and seasonings, then pour the mixture into a bowl and stir in the white wine.
• Put the beef in large zip lock bag, pour the marinade over the beef, push the air out of the bag and seal it.
• Massage the marinade around the beef and refrigerate for about 24 hours, turning and massaging occasionally.
• Preheat the oven to 300f degrees.
• Heat the oil in a deep casserole just large enough to hold the beef snugly.
• I use my cast iron dutch oven.
• Add all the vegetables and cook over gentle heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or untl they start to soften.
• Lift the beef out of the marinade and place on top of the veggies.
• Strain 1 1/4 cups of the marinade into a measuring cup and add the broth and the red wine.
• Pour the liquid over the beef.
• Add the parsley, cover and place in the oven.
• Bake for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
• For the last hour, wash and score the potatoes.
• Place potatoes on oven grate around the outside of the casserole.
• Bake 1 hour, or until fork tender.
