Step 4 Remove the beef from the pan and add to the crock pot. Add the garlic to the skillet and brown for one minute. Step 5 Mix 1 cup of the beef broth with the red wine vinegar and dijon mustard in a small pitcher. Pour into the pan, scraping the bottom to loosen any beef or garlic. Step 6 Add the stock from the skillet, the additional beef stock, water and Guinness to the crock pot. Step 7 Add the thyme, bay leaves, cloves, brown sugar and chocolate chips to the crock pot. Mix ingredients together. Step 8 Place the lid on the crock pot and cook the stew on low for about 12 hours. Try not to lift the lid of the crock pot too often during cooking, since this can allow the heat escape and slow down cooking. The stew is done when the vegetables are tender. Step 9 Put the corn flour in a small pitcher or bowl and blend with 1/4 cup of cold beef broth, making sure the mixture is smooth. Turn the crock pot to high and add the thickening. Season the stew according to taste at this point. Cook for an additional 20 minutes to allow the stew to thicken. Stir occasionally. Step 10 Remove the bay leaves and discard.
