1. Preheat the oven to 150 ºC. Dice the onion and slice the bacon.
2. Heat up 2 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium high heat.

4. Reduce the heat to medium, add sliced bacon pieces, chopped onions, mushrooms and sauté for another 5 minutes.
5. Add the spices, stir for a minute, then add the red wine to deglaze the pan.
6. Reduce the heat to low then add the beef stock, tomato sauce, apple cider vinegar and prunes.
7. Cover the pot with a lid and place it in the oven for 2-3 hours, until beef is falling apart.
8. Once beef is getting soft, remove the pot from the oven and remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf, put lid back on and simmer on the stove for another 15 minutes, to thicken the sauce.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley. Serve with fresh penne or mashed potatoes.
