Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef in a single layer ā work in two batches if needed to avoid crowding ā and sear undisturbed for 3ā4 minutes per side until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.
