- 2
Heat the lard in a large 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 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two faces. Transfer the seared beef to a plate and repeat with the remaining batch.
