In a large saucepan, heat olive oil until shimmering. Season meat with salt and pepper; add to the pan in a single layer. Cook over moderately high heat, turning occasionally, until browned all over, about 10 minutes. Add stock and shallots; bring to a boil; simmer over low heat until the meat is tender, about 1½ hours.
Add carrots to the saucepan; simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Add peas, spinach and dill; cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Serve with crusty bread, if desired.
