["Heat the oil and butter together in a large dutch oven. Brown the meat in the oil/butter over a hot fire.", "Sprinkle the meat with the flour, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the meat well.", "In a separate saucepan, combine and heat until boiling: garlic, onions, bouillon, tomato sauce, pepper corns, cloves, parsley, and the bay leaf. Add to the meat in the dutch oven, mix well.", "Simmer the meat/sauce mixture for about 4 hours. After 3 hours add the sherry/white wine.", "Cook the potatoes and carrots separately until tender but not overdone.
