Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the beef with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Remove browned beef and set aside.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the dark beer and beef broth, scraping the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

Return the browned beef to the pot. Add the bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and crushed juniper berries.

Bring the stew to a gentle simmer, then cover the pot and transfer it to a preheated oven at 160°C (325°F) or reduce the stovetop heat to low. Cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.

Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
