Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300F .
In a large, heavy ovenproof pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium flame for about 5 minutes. Stir in the onion and the sugar.
Cover and cook over medium flame, stirring occasionally, until the onion is deep brown, about 12 minutes. Stir in the beer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the chopped carrots, potatoes and beef to the pot. Stir in the ground allspice, bay leaves, mustard, thyme, salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer over medium flame.
Cover, transfer to the oven and cook until the beef and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
