Directions

Coat beef with 1/3 cup flour. Brown beef slowly on both sides in hot oil in Dutch oven or large saucepan.

Combine ale, soy sauce and allspice; pour over beef. Bring to boil; cover and simmer 1 hour.

Turn beef over and add onions; simmer, covered, 1 hour longer, or until beef is tender.

Meanwhile, blend remaining 2 Tbsp. flour with 1/4 cup water.

Remove beef and onions to serving platter; keep warm. Pour pan juices into large measuring cup; skim off excess fat. Return 2-1/2 cups juices to pan; bring to boil. Gradually stir in flour mixture, cooking until gravy boils and thickens.

To serve, cut beef across grain into thin slices and serve with gravy.
