Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Toss steak in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Add to the stockpot and cook, stirring occasionally, until evenly browned, about 6-8 minutes; set aside.
Add onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Add garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 3-4 minutes.
Whisk tomato paste until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Stir in beer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the stockpot.
Stir in beef stock, thyme, bay leaves and steak. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until beef is very tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in sweet potatoes; simmer until potatoes are just tender and stew has thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard thyme/rosemary sprigs and bay leaves. Stir in parsley; season with salt and pepper, to taste.*
