2. Brown the Beef: In a frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the rump steak on all sides until golden brown. Transfer the beef to an oven-proof casserole dish.

3. Cook Onions and Garlic: In the same frying pan, add garlic and onions. Cook until the onions turn soft and translucent.

4. Caramelize Sugar: Sprinkle brown sugar over the onions and garlic. Stir continuously until the sugar caramelizes, adding a delightful sweetness to the dish.

5. Combine Ingredients in Casserole: Transfer the caramelized onions and garlic to the casserole dish with the browned beef. Add carrots and bay leaves for extra flavor.

6. Prepare Stock Mixture: Dissolve beef bouillon cubes and flour in water. Pour this mixture into the frying pan along with Guinness beer. Stir well and heat until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly.

7. Combine and Cook: Pour the thickened stock mixture over the beef and vegetables in the casserole dish. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.

8. Bake: Cover the casserole dish with a lid and place it in the preheated oven. Allow it to cook for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
