Step 1
Cut beef into 3-inch chunks. Pat dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Cut carrots into 2-inch pieces. Cut potatoes into 1.5-inch chunks. Cut onion into quarters.
Step 3
Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Working in batches, sear beef 2–3 minutes per side without moving until deeply browned. Transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Add onion to the pot and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, about 4 minutes.
Step 6
Return beef to pot. Pour in broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low.
Step 7
Braise for 60 minutes, then add carrots and potatoes. Stir gently.
Step 8
Continue braising, covered, until vegetables are tender and beef shreds easily, 30–45 minutes.
Step 9
Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Serve in shallow bowls with braising liquid.
