Step 1
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb beef stew meat in a single layer and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Add the 2 sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in the 2 cups beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Season with the 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 4
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the beef is tender and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, spooned over rice or with crusty bread.
