Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high until shimmering, ~90 seconds.
Step 2
Working in batches, sear beef without moving until browned on all sides, ~8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add onion and carrot rounds to the pot, stirring occasionally, until softened, ~4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in tomato paste until it coats the vegetables, ~1 minute.
Step 5
Pour in broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Return beef and any juices to the pot.
Step 6
Add potatoes and remaining carrot chunks. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook until beef is tender, ~30 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
