    2      Tbsp          Olive Oil
    3                    Bay Leaves
    2      Lb            Beef Stew Meat -- Cut Into 2 Cubes
    1      Large         Yellow Onion -- Cut 1/4 Inch Slices
    2      Cloves        Garlic -- Chopped
    1      Tsp           Dried Thyme
    1      Tsp           Dried Rosemary
    3      Tbsp          Flour
      1/4  Cup           Beef Stock
      1/2  Cup           Guinness Stout

 Heat a 6 quart stove-top casserole and add the oil and bay leaves.  Cook
 the bay leaves for a moment and then add the meat. Brown the meat on both
 sides on high heat (I flour the meat first).  add the sliced onion and
 cook until the onions are translucent.  Reduce heat to low and add the
 garlic thyme, rosemary and flour; stir until smooth.  Add the beef stock
 and stout.  Simmer, stirring until the stew thickens a bit. Add the
 remaining ingredients and cover. Place the pot in a 275 degree oven for
 about 2 hours, stirring a couple of times.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
