Toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Dredge the beef in this to coat.
Heat the remaining oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef, and brown on all sides.
Add the onions, and garlic. Stir the tomato paste into a small amount of water to dilute; pour into the pan and stir to blend.
Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour 1/2 cup of the beer into the pan, and as it begins to boil, scrape any bits of food from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
This adds a lot of flavor to the broth.
Pour in the rest of the beer, and add the carrots and thyme.
Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley.
