Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Drying the surface helps the meat brown rather than steam.

Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining batch.
