Instructions

Combine beef with flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Heat canola oil and butter in a large pan, then brown the beef in batches until a rich color develops.
Return all browned beef to the pan. Add onions, garlic, brown sugar, parsley, bay leaf, and thyme; stir thoroughly.
Stir in the beer and enough beef stock to cover the beef. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours until tender, adding more stock if needed.
Remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar. Let the stew stand for 10 minutes before serving.
