Preparation

  1. Trim the meat and cut it into 1-by-3-inch slices. Sprinkle with white pepper. Preheat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the oil. In batches if necessary, brown the meat on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the onions, enough of the water to cover the bottom of the pan by 1/4 inch, and the bouillon cube. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until tender, 20 to 40 minutes, depending upon the cut of meat.
