This dish was really delicious albeit a little too sweet. I have to agree with the other reviewer that you do not need that much oil to fry the beef. Thank you for sharing.

This made us a very nice meal. I made as directed but used 1 pound of sirloin. I didn't need as much oil to try the beef. Meat was very tender. Next time I would cut down on the sugar. It was too sweet for us. I also added a squirt of the chili sauce as another Chef recommended. I will also add some red pepper flakes to the saute mixture next time. Thank you for sharing. Made for Ausie Swap #32.

Thank you for sharing! This recipe is soo goood! My wife and I have been making it twice a week since we found this last month! I cook it closely following the recipe, only I add a squirt of that chinese Chili Sauce with the rooster on the label. That really set's it off. I also use whatever premium steak is on sale at Publix to begin with. This is usally Ribeye, NY Strip, or even T-Bone. This dish really is Gourmet Chinese Restaurant quality! Six stars!

This is a simple but very tasty recipe. I followed the recipe and served it with Recipe #225320. I'll definitely be making this again. Made for Unrated Asian Tag Game.
