Steps:
- 1. Dry beef with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large heavy bottomed dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot, almost smoking.
- 2. Brown the meat about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer browned beef to a separate bowl.
- 3. Add 2 tablespoons butter to dutch oven; reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon of salt; cook until onions are browned, about 15 minutes.
- 4. Add flour and stir until onions are evenly coated and flour is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
- 5. Stir in broth, scraping pan bottom to loosen browned bits; stir in beer, thyme, bay leaves, browned beef with any of the accumulated juices, and salt and pepper to taste.
- 6. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a full simmer. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, let cook for 2-3 hours until beef is fork tender. Or you can cook in the oven at 300°F.
- 7. Stir occasionally to keep anything from sticking About half an hour before it finishes cooking, add the mustard and brown sugar. Discard thyme and bay leaf. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- 8. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles.
