Heat a 6-quart stove-top casserole and add the oil and the bay leaves.
Cook the bay leaves for a moment and then add the meat.

Brown the beef stew meat on both sides on high heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for a few minutes until it is clear.
Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and flour, and stir well until smooth.
Add the beef stock and stout; simmer, stirring, until the stew thickens a bit.
