Beef Ampalaya with Oyster Sauce

My husband's aunt from abroad sent us a can of beef in juice a few months back and he cooked it with ampalaya and oyster sauce. It was delicious so he decided to cook this again using a fresh ground beef marinated in pineapple juice. I must say that this is my husband's specialty now and it became my favorite too.
