I prefer beef when I cook with oyster sauce. On occasion, I have also used cooked beef with my sweet and sour salad. In this recipe, the oyster sauce compliments the taste the beef. In my mind, vegetables are another essential ingredient for most any recipe, and I made sure to include liberal amounts of mushrooms, scallions and red peppers for that reason. Enjoy!
