A delightful culinary accident leads to an unforgettable dish! Tender strips of beef tenderloin are transformed with a generous dose of black pepper and the rich umami of oyster sauce. The absence of soy sauce allows the nuanced sweetness of the onion and the savory depth of the oyster sauce to truly shine. This recipe is quick, easy, and packed with flavor.
