Instructions

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.
