Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the thyme, salt & pepper, and oregano until evenly combined. Add the beef to the bowl, and toss until evenly combined.
- Heat a Dutch oven, or heavy bottomed sauce pan, over medium heart. Give it a spritz of non stick cooking spray.
- Once the pan's hot, add the beef. Cook it for 6 minutes, stirring often so that it sears on all sides- not so that it cooks through.
- To the Dutch oven add the broth, onion, bay leaves, stout. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to a low simmer, then cover the pot with the lid. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the lid & stir the pearl onions and prepared mushrooms into the stew. Return the lid to the pot, and continue cooking another 15-20 minutes- stirring occasionally.
- Remove the bay leaves from the pot. Discard.
- Whisk the flour mixture & cranberry sauce into the stew until evenly combined. Allow the mixture to simmer/cook for 5 minutes- it will thicken during this time.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes or cooked egg noodles & enjoy!

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cut beef stew meat. You can also ask your butcher to cut it for you.
- If you don't have a Dutch oven, you can use a large pot or braising pan.
- Brown the beef in batches so that it doesn't steam. This will help to develop its flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot when you add the vegetables. They need room to cook evenly.
- Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
- Serve the stew over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
