Method
To prepare the dish, start by heating oil in a pan or wok, then fry the garlic, ginger, and onions until they become fragrant. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry on high heat until it is browned. Next, toss in the capsicum and chilies, cooking for 2 to 3 minutes before pouring in the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and chili sauce, stirring well until the sauce thickens slightly. Finally, gently mix in the roasted cashews, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, and garnish with spring onions before serving.
