I was craving for a beef stir fry rice bowl, so I thought of making something out of the ingredients that I have in the fridge. I was glad to find some beef sirloin, and there was a piece of ย fresh bitter gourd waiting to be noticed. It did not take that long before I decided to prepareย Beef in Oyster Sauce Stir Fry with Ampalaya.

Beef in Oyster Sauce Stir Fry with Ampalaya Rice Bowl Recipe

Beef in Oyster Sauce Stir Fry with Ampalaya is a perfect dish with a bowl of rice. It is tasty, delicious, and easy to prepare. It will only take you less than 20 minutes to cook this dish. In order to getย the best result, I recommend that you use either beef sirloin or tenderloin. Make sure that these beef cuts are sliced really thin so that it will remain tender and cook quickly. The bitter gourd, on the other hand, can be cooked after slicing or you can also reduce the bitter taste by soaking it in water with a little salt. I did the later as I have a low tolerance to bitter food ย (except for papaitan and beer).

This dish is perfect for a quick dinner; you can also prepare this and bring this with you to work (or school) for lunch. It can be topped over warm white rice right away. Delish!

You might want to know that I enjoyed this with some Worcestershire sauce while eating it with rice. It is absolutely perfect.
