Step 1
Slice the 1 lb beef brisket against the grain into 1/2-inch thick strips. Season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer and sear until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total.
Step 3
Add the 1 sliced onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in the 1 cup barbecue sauce and stir to coat the beef. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens and the beef is tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Serve hot, spooning extra sauce over the top.
