Cut the steak into 4"x2" strips. Season the flour and use to coat the meat. Heat the oil in a large pan, add the meat and fry until lightly browned on all sides; remove from the pan. Add the onions to the pan and cook until golden brown. Return the meat to the pan and add the garlic, beef stock, beer and salt and pepper to taste.
