Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two 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 set aside.
