Garlic Lovers Beef

"very good recipe. I don't cut up the meat but cook it like a pot roast recipe. Other reviewers I think are mistaking a head of garlic for a clove of garlic. A head is the entire bulb containing 8 o..." See morer more cloves. The recipe actuallly calls for about 16 cloves! Just peel and leave them whole. It is the crushing and chopping that releases the intense garlic flavour. Uncut garlic has a sweeter gentler taste and 16 really isn't too much."

Still not something I'd make again "as is" (nothing to write home about) but a good jumping point for something. Thanks for this recipe I appreciate it!"
