Pat the liver strips dry with paper towels and season them with salt and a few grindings of pepper.
In another large heavy skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil until a light haze forms over it.
Drop in the liver strips and saute them, turning frequently, for 2 or 3 minutes, or until they are lightly browned on all sides.
Stir in the onions and cook with the liver for 1 or 2 minutes.
Transfer the liver and onions to a heated platter.
