Tender Juicy Beef and Pearl Onion Stew

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Cut the beef into small pieces. 
2. In a large bowl combine olive oil, pomegranate molasses, balsamic vinegar, tomato paste and all the seasonings, along with the lemon juice and chicken stock (you can also use broth). 
3. Give it a good mix, then add in the beef, garlic and pearl onions. Toss really well, transfer to a baking dish. Add the sliced butter and bay leaves on top.
4. Wet a piece of parchment paper and squeeze out the excess water. Unfold and cover the dish along with 2 pieces of foil, cover tightly so no steam escapes during baking. 
5. Bake for 3 hours or until beef is tender. Serve with bread or rice and enjoy!
