Servings: persons

1/4 lb lean bacon, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 1/2 lbs boneless beef rump roast or 3 1/2 lbs sirloin tip roast
2 cups thinly sliced onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
12 whole peppercorns
4 whole cloves
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups white wine (cheaper is better)
3/4 teaspoon salt

1
In a large heavy Dutch oven, saute the bacon in the olive oil until drippings are rendered and bacon is browned a bit and crisp; transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
2
In the bacon drippings, brown the beef roast well on all sides over moderately high heat.
3
Transfer to the plate with bacon, then add onions, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and cloves to the Dutch oven.
4
Saute about 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
5
Blend in tomato paste, lower the heat, cover and steam for 20 minutes.
6
Remove and set aside half of the tomato-onion mixture; place the beef roast back into the Dutch oven with the bacon, then spoon remaining tomato-onion mixture on top.
7
Carefully pour the wine and salt around the beef roast and bring to a simmer.
8
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
9
Cove and bake in the 375 degree oven for 2 hours; remove and turn beef over in the liquid.
10
Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees F then bake uncovered about 1 hour longer or until meat is falling-apart tender (and it will be!).
