I’m always very conscious with cooking beef as I’m generally very afraid of eating raw meat. Thus, when I cook meat, I tend to overcook. But I knew beef didn’t need a lot of time to cook and they’re actually better cooked medium or medium-well so there. I’m glad I didn’t overcook this batch of the Beef Stir Fry in Oyster Sauce with Ampalaya. It turned out great and beef is always a great partner for bitter gourd/ampalaya. And I love how the sauce enveloped both the beef and veggie making this dish so sumptuous.
I do recommend that when cooking this dish, it has to be eaten the same day. While it’s still a lil bit okay to reheat this dish the same day, the quality isn’t the same anymore. So best to cook this with the right serving size.
