Slice the beef into approximately 2"x1"x1/4 thick slices and dust lightly with the seasoned flour. Shake off the excess. Brown, a few at a time, in a mixture of the olive oil. Set aside. In the same pan, saute the garlic for 1 minute, then add the onions and cook until soft. Add the paprika and the tomato paste. Blend well. Set aside. Cook the Veggies in the same pan until slightly brown. Transfer to an oven proof casserole then add the beef, onion mix, the 2 c. of boiling stock and the thyme.
