Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer, working in two batches to avoid crowding, and sear for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and set aside.
