1
In a large, heavy pot, warm the oil over high heat until hot but not smoking.
2
Working in batches, brown the meat well on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

Transfer the browned meat to a plate and repeat until all the meat is browned.
5
Add the onions and butter to the pot and stir over high heat until the onions start to soften, about 5 minutes.
6
Reduce the heat to medium and sprinkle in the sugar.
7
Continue to cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
8
Add the flour, thyme and carrots and raise the heat to high.
9
Stir for 1 minute, then pour in the lager or ale, letting it come to a vigorous boil.
10
Stir in the broth and tomato paste and return to a boil.
11
Return the meat and any accumulated juices on the plate to the pot, let the liquid come just to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the meat is tender when pierced and the sauce is slightly thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
12
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
