Coat the beef with flour and pat off the excess. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy pan. Add the beef and cook, turning to brown all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove beef from the pan and transfer it to a 6- to 8-quart slow-cooker.

Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 9 hours.
Transfer the beef and vegetables to a serving platter. Discard the bay leaves and season the remaining sauce in the slow-cooker with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over beef and vegetables to serve.
