Put the flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Coat the beef in the seasoned flour and shake off any excess flour. Turn the heat up to high, then add the remaining oil to the frying pan. Fry the beef, in batches, for 1 minute on each side until brown all over. Add the beef to the casserole dish.

Add a splash of beer to the frying pan and scrape off any cooked pieces of food, then pour it all into the casserole dish. Pour in the remaining beer, the beef stock and rosemary.Cover the casserole dish, put in the oven to cook for 1.5 hours.
