Instructions

Using a sharp knife, poke holes in the beef roast and insert garlic slivers and black peppercorns. Rub the roast with salt & pepper. Place bacon slices on bottom of casserole with beef on top. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, onion, bouquet garni, carrots, diced bacon, brandy, and wine. The liquid should almost completely cover the meat.
Cover the casserole with a lid and cook in 350°F oven for 1 hour. Reduce heat to 250°F and cook for about 1 hour longer or until the internal temperature is 120°F for medium-rare. Let rest 15 minutes before carving.
