Beef in Oyster Sauce

BEEF IN OYSTER SAUCE

Beef in oyster sauce with fried rice is our favourite combo.  This flavourful dish can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish with fried rice or noodles.

We need tender beef for this recipe. The regular beef we get in Mangalore is hard & takes longer time to cook. So  i always prefer beef veal   for this recipe.

You can use tender beef or if you are using regular beef, you can boil beef pieces well & then cut into thin slices & follow the recipe. 

Here I used tender beef for this recipe.
