Preparation

Step 1

Combine the flour, paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag. Add the beef to the flour mixture and toss to coat. Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat and brown the beef on all sides. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Add the remaining ingredients and cook covered on low heat for 8 to 10 hours. Alternately, combine all the ingredients in a covered baking dish and bake in a preheated 325F (165C) oven for 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serves 6 to 8.
