Step 1
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat. Season beef slices with salt and pepper, then sear in batches 60-90 seconds per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Add carrots and parsnips to the same skillet with a pinch of salt. Roast without stirring for 6-8 minutes until edges brown and edges curl slightly.
Step 3
Pour vinegar and beef broth into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, then add the cherry tomatoes.
Step 4
Return beef and any juices to the skillet. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce reduces slightly and beef is heated through.
Step 5
Taste and adjust with salt and pepper. Divide between plates and top with microgreens. Serve hot.
