Directions
- Combine flour, salt and pepper in a shallow dish; add beef pieces.

- Transfer cooked beef to a slow cooker.
- Add potato and carrots.
- Cook onion in the same skillet used for beef until golden, about 5 minutes.
- Add beer and garlic; bring to a boil for 1 minute.

- Add beef broth, thyme and bay leaves into the slow cooker.
- Cook on low until beef is tender, about 3 hours.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
