Coat the beef with the paprika and set aside.
Coat the onion in the paprika.
Put the beef, onion, garlic and olive oil in a large roasting pan, cover and toss to coat.
Roast in pan, tossing occasionally, until beef is browned and onions are tender.
Transfer meat and onion mixture into a dutch oven, add diced potatoes, and beef stock.
On stove top bring everything to a boil, then lower to a simmer.
