This is an excellent recipe especially for an after work fast meal that is full of flavour, and to me if just having some friends around for a meal a great recipe without a lot of effort. I love anything that can be done in the wok as it is always quick on cook time but what makes this recipe fantastic is the low prep time as well. I must admit I haven’t cooked beef a lot lately because of the expense and if you buy cheaper cuts they can be so tough and not enjoyable so I thought what is the point. I bought almost 2kg of fillet that was on major special so I have been cooking up a beef storm over the last couple of weeks and oh my god has the beef been great.

This is a really quick easy recipe to throw together that is full of flavour. Be careful with the oyster sauce though I have listed amounts, but if you buy quite a strong brand I would recommend using less, it is a bit like soy sauce with the saltiness of it. The brand I use is not that salty, but I have bought other brands that are so salty they have completely destroyed my meal with the overpowered salty flavour.
