Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the chuck, allspice, cinnamon, 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper and use your hands to mix it well.
- Pour the oil into the bottom of a heavy, 6-quart ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven and place half the onions in the bottom. Place half of the meat over the onions, pressing it down very firmly with your hands. Scatter half the potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the top of the meat. Add the remaining onions to the pot and press the remaining meat over the top of the onions. Scatter the remaining potatoes, prunes and eggplant over the meat.
- In a large bowl, combine the tomato paste, 2 1/2 cups of water, sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and mix until smooth. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
- Cover the pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Adjust the heat so that the mixture cooks at a strong simmer. Cook until the sauce is thick and the potatoes are tender but not mushy, about 2 hours. (The dish is often better if prepared a day in advance, refrigerated and reheated in a 350-degree oven before serving.) Season the stew to taste with salt and pepper and serve with Syrian rice.

NANCY LINDAHL'S HEARTY SWEET AND SOUR BEEF STEW
Here is a crock pot stew that I found published in the Minneapolis Tribune many years ago. After you brown the meat and put every thing together, it cooks by itself. I have never met Nancy, but I thank her every time the aroma of this meal in a pot fills my kitchen. It serves at least 4 hungry people and left over's can be refrigerated for several days. After cooking all day, it still retains it's sweet/sour characteristics without either a burned taste or the washed out blandness that often requires more seasoning when served.

Steps:
- 1. Brown meat in hot oil. Add next 6 ingredients, 1/2 cup water, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook over low heat till meat is tender, about 2 hours.
- 2. Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water; add to beef mixture. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Serve over noodles or rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right beef: Chuck roast, brisket, and flank steak are all good choices for this stew. These cuts are tough but will become tender when cooked slowly in the sauce.
- Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop flavor and give the stew a richer color.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, texture, and color to the stew. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and green beans.
- Make sure the sauce is flavorful: The sauce is what really makes this stew special. Use a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and ketchup to create a delicious and flavorful sauce.
- Cook the stew until the beef is tender: This may take several hours, but it's worth it! The longer you cook the stew, the more tender the beef will be.
- Serve the stew over rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
