Step 1
Pat the beef dry and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear the beef 3 minutes per side without moving until deep brown crust forms.
Step 3
Remove beef to a cutting board. Add carrots and asparagus to the same skillet, toss with salt and pepper, and sauté 4 minutes until light gold.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then pour in beef broth. Scrape up browned bits from the pan bottom.
Step 5
Remove from heat and whisk in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Step 6
Slice the beef 0.5-inch thick. Serve alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and spoon gravy over all.
