while the beef is cooking cut up remaining vegetables.
then blanch the pearl onions to remove skin.
after the 2 hours have elapsed remove Dutch Oven from the oven. remove beef to a separate plate and then strain cooking liquid into a large shallow dish. i used a lasagna dish. then put the dish of cooking liquid into refrigerator or freezer for a half hour to 1 hour. this will make it much easier to skim fat from the cooking liquid. this step is not necessary, but removing excess fat is obviously more healthy.
after you skim the fat then add the beef and vegetables back to the Dutch Oven and add cooking liquid and return to oven for 45 mins.
after 45 mins remove from oven serve and top with some flat leaf parsley. i like to serve this with some nice crusty beard.
bon appetite

i really liked it. things i would do differently. i would NOT use the ground cloves or orange zest. it gave it good flavor, but i think it would be better without.
now time for clean up.
phreak and Jeffie the bar has been set. let the battle begin.
