Instructions

In a large ziplock bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Add the beef to the bag and shake until it's well coated with the mixture.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the coated beef and brown it on all sides, taking care not to let it burn.
After browning the meat, stir in the tomato paste and beef broth, mixing until a thick sauce forms, scraping any bits from the bottom; then set aside off heat.
In the slow cooker, place the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
Pour the beef and sauce mixture over the vegetables.
Add the Guinness beer and place the bay leaves on top.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours without opening the lid.
Once cooked, remove the bay leaves and serve.

Notes

For extra flavor, feel free to add your favorite herbs like rosemary or parsley.
You can substitute the Guinness beer with a non-alcoholic version or beef broth if preferred.
This stew pairs wonderfully with crusty bread for dipping.
