 Marinated Beef: In a deep bowl, combine 1 clove garlic, crushed
 peppercorns, allspice, 1 ts salt, and wine. Stir to dissolve salt. Add beef
 cubes, pressing cubes down into marinade to immerse as much as possible.
 Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Remove beef and
 garlic from marinade with a slotted spoon, reserving marinade. Pat beef and
 garlic dry on paper towels.

 Beef Stew: In a 6 quart non-reactive oven-going pot, heat olive oil and
 garlic over medium-high heat. Add meat in 2 batches, searing meat on all
 sides until deep brown. Return all meat to pot. Pour in reserved marinade
 and beef boullion. Add bouquet garni. Bring to a boil. Boil gently for 10
 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

 Preheat oven to 350 F. Layer carrots, onions, turnips and mushrooms atop
 meat mixture in casserole. Cover and bake at 350 F for 1 1/2 hours until
 meat and vegetables are tender. Remove bouquet garni. Stir in frozen peas.
 Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and bake 4-5 minutes until peas
 are cooked. Spoon stew and cooking juices into individual serving bowls.
 Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
