Method

Heat butter and oil in a large pot over medium heat, add the beef chunks, and brown them on all sides.
Remove the beef and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add sliced onions to the pot, stirring occasionally, and sprinkle in brown sugar to caramelize.
Return browned beef to the pot, stir in mustard and vinegar, then pour in dark beer and scrape the bottom for flavor.
Spread mustard on the slices of spiced bread and place them mustard-side down atop the stew, then cover and simmer for 2.5 to 3 hours.
While the stew simmers, prepare fries until crispy and golden.
Serve the stew hot in bowls alongside the fries, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
