Instructions

In a large ziplock bag, combine the flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Add the beef to the bag and shake to coat evenly.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the cooking oil once hot.
Add the coated beef to the skillet and brown on all sides, taking care not to burn it.
Once browned, stir in the tomato paste and beef broth, mixing until a thick sauce forms, scraping any bits off the bottom. Remove from heat.
In the slow cooker, layer 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 lifting the lid during cooking.
After cooking, remove the bay leaves and serve warm.

Notes

For extra flavor, sear the beef well before adding it to the slow cooker.
Substituting different root vegetables like parsnips can add variety.
Serve with crusty bread to soak up the delicious broth.
