method
1. Put the beef in a bowl with the wine and mix well. Cover and leave to marinate overnight, stirring occasionally.
2. Cut the parsnips into 5 cm (2 inch) lengths, about
1 cm (1/2 inch) wide. Drain the meat from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the beef, a few pieces at a time, and brown quickly. Transfer to an ovenproof casserole with a slotted spoon.
3. Add the onion and garlic to the frying pan and fry until beginning to brown. Stir in the allspice, flour, reserved marinade, stock and walnuts. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly.
4. Pour into the casserole and add the parsnips. Season lightly to taste. Cover and bake at 170°C (325°F) mark 3 for 2 1/2 - 3 hours or until the meat is really tender.
5. Serve hot, straight from the casserole, sprinkled with the chopped walnuts. Accompany with boiled rice and a green salad.
