Estofado de carne de toro (Beef with vegetables)

Heat the meat in olive oil and sear the meat on all sides over medium to high heat.
    
Add the onions and garlic, frying until the onion is translucent and then sprinkle the flour over the meat, stirring it well so that the flour doesn’t burn.
    
Add the carrots, the red wine and the vinegar and continue stirring everything briskly before adding the bay leaves, the cloves and the hot peppers – now pour in the meat stock and bring to a brisk simmer.
    
Turn down the heat and simmer for 2 hours over low heat, stirring occasionally (the flour may cause the meat to stick to the pan if you don’t stir).
    
Before serving, add the cinnamon, salt and pepper to taste and stir in the chopped parsley.
    
Serve with crusty Spanish country bread.
