Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss beef slices with flour, salt, and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook until browned. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
