Steps:
- Dissect the meat, removing all fat, etc. Cut the meat into cubes or pieces. Place the meat pieces, salt, pepper, and allspice into a plastic grocery bag, and shake or stir to coat the meat with the seasonings. Heat some olive oil in a large pot to be used for the braising. Brown the meat on all sides. Discard any left over oil. Remove the meat, and add the chopped onions. Saute the onions until translucent. Return the meat, and add all other ingredients except the parsley and cream. Simmer, covered, over very low heat, for 3 hours. When the meat is very tender, remove it. Puree the braising liquid, place in a freezer for 30 minutes, then remove the fat. Return the braising liquid to the pot. Thicken it with some flour mixed with butter. Finally, whip the cream (or not), and fold it into the braising liquid. Pour the sauce over the meat in a serving bowl, and sprinkle with some chopped parsley.

Tips:
- Choosing the right cut of beef is essential for a tender and flavorful pot roast. Look for a chuck roast or a rump roast, which are both well-marbled and have a good amount of connective tissue. These cuts will break down and become tender during the long cooking process.
- Browning the beef before braising it is an important step that adds flavor and color to the dish. Be sure to brown the beef in a hot pan over medium-high heat, and cook it until it is well-browned on all sides.
- Using a variety of vegetables in your pot roast will add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and turnips. You can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or parsnips, if desired.
- Adding herbs and spices to your pot roast will help to enhance the flavor of the dish. Some good choices include thyme, rosemary, garlic, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as bay leaves or paprika, if desired.
- Cooking the pot roast on low heat for a long period of time is the key to a tender and flavorful dish. Be patient, and let the roast cook for at least 2 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.

Slottsstek, or Swedish royal pot roast, is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
