Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-size pieces

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown meat on all sides, cooking in batches if necessary. Add onions, carrots, celery and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
