1. Dredge beef in flour. In a skillet, brown beef in oil. Cook until medium to medium-well. Remove from heat, let sit 5 minutes, then cube.

2. In a medium stock pot or crock pot, add water, bullion, salt, pepper, onion, paprika, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, carrots, potatoes, corn, and beef. Mix well. Simmer on medium to medium-low for 2 or more hours (crock pot will take longer) until vegetables and meat are tender.
