干炒牛河 Fried Rice Noodles with Beef

I like beef but I rarely cook beef dishes as the Mister at home don't fancy it. The kids love this saucy dark kway teow (rice noodle) and they are acceptable with the taste and texture of beef unlike their father....luckily hahaha That means I'm able to whip up some beef dishes once in a while when Mister is not back for dinner. ^0^

• 300gm beef fillet, sliced
