Season beef and generously dust with flour, this will act as a thickening agent. Brown and seal meet completely. Transfer to a casserole dish. Saut vegetables and bacon in the same pan. Add to beef. Pour in Guinness and add herbs. Add sugar to casserole, this is to counteract the bitterness of the beer. Top up casserole with beef stock. Simmer casserole for 90 minutes or till meat is tender.
