My good friend Lin gave me a recipe for beef in oyster sauce, I misread the amount of black pepper called for in her recipe, and the result was fantastic! I especially like the recipe because no soy sauce is used. My husband likes to eat them with the leftover sliced uncooked onion to bring out the sweetness of the oyster sauce.

I grew up eating these saucy, sweet, tangy Pittsburgh ham barbecue sandwiches loaded with paper-thin sliced chipped chopped ham sold at deli counters in Pittsburgh. Islay's is the original and still the best chopped ham if you can find it.
