Season stew meat with salt and pepper. Put flour in plastic bag, add meat and shake until coated. Heat 1/4" of oil in a heavy stockpot on medium/high. Brown one layer of meat on both sides. Repeat until all meat is cooked through. Drain oil.
Meanwhile, stir mushroom soup, French onion soup mix and Alaskan ESB. Return stew meat to pot and add soup mixture. Stir well and add mushrooms. Simmer over medium low/medium heat for 2 hours or until meat is tender, stirring occasionally. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, a green salad and cold Alaskan beer.
