   Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes, slice the carrots, dice the celery, and cube the potatoes. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

   Brown the Beef

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper. Brown the beef on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef and set aside.

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
