- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 lime, juiced
- Salt, to taste

Instructions:
-
Marinate the Beef: Place the beef strips in a bowl and coat with lime juice. Let it marinate for 1 hour to enhance its flavor and tenderness.

Fry the Beef: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated beef and cook until browned but not overly dry. Remove from the pan and set aside to drain.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same pan, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté the sliced shallots, minced garlic, and sliced onion until fragrant and slightly caramelized.

Add Peppers and Tomato: Stir in the sliced red chili peppers and chopped tomato. Cook until the tomato softens and releases its juices.
-
Simmer: Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Allow it to come to a gentle boil.
-
Combine Beef and Seasonings: Return the cooked beef to the pan. Stir in the sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, and salt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Simmer and Season: Cover the pan and let the flavors meld together, allowing the beef to absorb the seasonings. Add black pepper to taste and stir.
-
Adjust and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the dish in a bowl or on a plate, ready to enjoy.
