Instructions

In a large ziplock bag, combine flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Add the trimmed beef to the bag and shake until well coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the coated beef in the skillet and brown on all sides, avoiding burning.
Once browned, incorporate tomato paste and beef broth into the skillet.
Stir to form a thick sauce, scraping up any stuck bits, then set aside off the heat.
In the slow cooker, add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic.
Pour the beef and sauce mixture over the vegetables in the slow cooker.
Mix in the Guinness beer and layer bay leaves on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours without lifting the lid.
Before serving, remove bay leaves.

For added flavor, consider using a mix of root vegetables such as parsnips or turnips.
This stew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months for a quick meal later.
