Clean the mushrooms and slice finely. Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Brown the meat in hot oil in a pan all around. Remove thyme leaves and add them. Dust with flour, pour in ale, bring to a boil, season with salt and pepper, then let cool. The sauce should not be too runny; fold in the mushrooms.
