Prepare the lasagna meat sauce by browning the ground beef in a pan.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef and sauté until onions are translucent.

Pour in the red wine, tomato sauce, and oyster sauce; stir to combine.

Season the mixture with dried oregano, salt, pepper, and chicken powder. Let it simmer.

In a separate saucepan, melt the butter to make the béchamel sauce.

Stir in the flour to create a roux, then gradually add the milk and chicken stock, whisking until smooth.

Add a pinch of nutmeg and ground black pepper to the béchamel sauce, along with mustard, and mix well.

Layer the lasagna by placing a layer of meat sauce, followed by béchamel sauce, and then mozzarella cheese, repeating the layers until all ingredients are used.

Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and bake until golden and bubbly.
