 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.
