Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss to coat evenly.

Heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two or three batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer 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 repeat with the remaining batches, adding a splash more oil between batches if the pot looks dry.
