Instructions

In a large ziplock bag, mix together flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Add beef to the bag and shake until coated well.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the beef, browning it on all sides without burning.
Once browned, stir in tomato paste and beef broth to form a thick sauce, making sure to deglaze any bits from the bottom of the skillet; set aside off the heat.
In the slow cooker, combine potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
Pour the beef and sauce mixture over the vegetables.
Add the Guinness beer and place bay leaves on top.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours without lifting the lid.
After cooking, remove bay leaves before serving.

Notes

For added depth, consider using a mix of root vegetables like parsnips or turnips.
Feel free to adjust seasonings according to your taste preferences for a personal touch.
This stew freezes well; store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
