Step 1
Pat beef dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in batches, sear beef 2 minutes per side until deeply golden. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add carrots, celery, and pearl onions to the same skillet. Sauté 4 minutes until edges begin to caramelize, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Pour in broth and red wine, scraping up any brown bits. Return beef to skillet with thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover partially, and cook 12 minutes until beef is tender.
Step 5
Uncover and simmer 2 minutes to tighten the sauce slightly. The vegetables should be soft and glazed.
Step 6
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve in shallow bowls with vegetables and pan sauce.
