Steps:
- Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the meat in one layer. Add the cubed beef and cook over medium heat, stirring until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the pieces of meat to a heavy cast-iron kettle, add the onions, garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add the flour. Blend well and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine, beef or chicken stock, bay leaf, cloves and allspice. Blend well and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered, over low heat for 3 1/2 hours to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender. Remove bay leaf. Serve with mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.

Tips:
- To ensure the best flavor, select high-quality ingredients, including a well-marbled steak and a rich, flavorful red wine.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the steak. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- Serve the steak with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.
