In a small bowl combine soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and lime juice until well incorporated. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add beef and cook until browned. Add the bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic, and chili to the beef and cook until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the sauce mixture and stir well to fully coat the beef and veggies. Cook for 1 minute until sauce has thickened and reduced a bit. Stir in basil until wilted. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
