2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat oil. Add onions and saute for 2 to 3 minutes on high until fragrant and tender.
In a large bowl, mix salt, pepper, flour, onion powder, and garlic powder together. Add meat to seasoned flour. Dredge to coat and add flour and meat to pot with onions. Cook until meat is lightly browned, stirring frequently for about 8 to 10 minutes.
