   • Begin by cutting the beef into small, bite-sized cubes. This will ensure that the meat cooks quickly and evenly.

2. Sauté Aromatics:

   • Heat the cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped green onions, and sliced Thai chilies to the pan. Sauté them for about 1-2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

3. Cook the Beef:

   • Add the cubed beef to the pan with the aromatics. Stir well to combine and cook the beef until it begins to brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Add Seasonings:

   • Pour a small amount of water into the pan to help cook the beef further and prevent sticking. Add the salt, black pepper, brown sugar, and oyster sauce. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef is well coated with the sauce.

5. Simmer:

   • Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the beef simmer for about 10-15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the beef to become tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to keep the mixture saucy.

6. Final Adjustments:

   • Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a sweeter or saltier flavor, you can add more brown sugar or salt.

7. Serve:

   • Once the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking, remove the pan from the heat. Serve the beef over a hot bowl of rice, and enjoy the deliciously savory meal you’ve just prepared!

This Simple Beef with Oyster Sauce is a perfect quick fix for busy weeknights or a satisfying dish to impress guests. The combination of tender beef with the rich oyster sauce creates a dish that’s both flavorful and comforting. Enjoy every bite of this delightful meal! 😋
