4 servings
- 1.5 lb beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
- 3 stalks celery, sliced into ½-inch pieces
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch half-moons
- ½ small green cabbage (about 4 cups), cored and cut into 1-inch pieces

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer — work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding — and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
