Brown the cubed stewing beef in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure all sides are nicely browned by stirring occasionally.

Add the minced garlic, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, salt, ground cloves, and ground black pepper to the beef. Stir until the spices are equally distributed and the mixture is aromatic.

Seal the Instant Pot. Set to high pressure and cook for 45 minutes.

Once done, allow it to naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing the rest of the pressure.

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 1 1/2- 2 hours, regularly stirring and adding water if required, until the beef is tender.

SLOW COOKER METHOD

For slow cooker, place the spiced beef in the slow cooker along with the chopped shallots, sugar, canned tomatoes, tomato paste, beef stock and wine. Stir them together.

Set on high and cook for 5 hours or up to 7-8 hours on low, until the beef is tender to your liking.

In either method, stir in the chopped parsley once done and check for seasoning.

Serve hot over cooked basmati rice or fluffy mashed potatoes.
