Marinate the Beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the beef pieces with oyster sauce, sweet soy sauce, and honey. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 1 hour to ensure the flavors are well absorbed.

Cook the Beef: Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated beef along with the marinade. Pour in a small amount of water if needed to help cook the meat. Cook until the beef is tender and fully cooked through.

Incorporate the Chilies: Add the sliced red and green chilies to the pan. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes, allowing the chilies to release their flavor into the dish.
