This recipe was very good. I took the advice putting in my own vegetables. Instead of the carrots, I used water chessnuts, young corn, and bean sprouts, and I also used yellow bellpepper as well. I also added sesame oil. Everyone in the family loved it. I’m glad I doubled the recipe. Will make again!

WOW! I never have seconds but I ate seconds and all the leftovers of this! We didn’t have any ginger and didn’t use oyster sauce….we did use carrots, green onions (instead of regular onions), green beans, and green peppers for veggies. I made beef broth from the beef sachets and I did make too much (I had doubled the recipe but I don’t think this needed doubled) but we served it on rice and the extra juice tasted excellent so I think I’d leave it doubled. We’ll be eating this one frequently- all the kids loved it too! Excellent flavor and super easy!

a keeper! good basic recipe that takes well to improvisation. The kids said it tasted like take-out. I used green pepper, yellow pepper, onion, mushrooms sliced, diagonal sliced carrots and celery. I left out the sugar since I don’t like sweet sauces. I doubled the amount of ginger and garlic, (well, maybe I tripled it). I added a dash of dry sherry since I am allergic to oysters….and it turned out fantastic. Next time want to try broccoli instead of peppers. Maybe add bamboo shoots and water chestnuts too. Thank you for this recipe.

Delicious, tastes like takeout. I’ve made as written, and also used broccoli in place of peppers (steamed for just a minute in the microwave first) and added a can of whole baby corn. I use ground ginger instead of fresh, so it’s probably not QUITE as good as it could be, but we still love it!

This is the first stir-fry I have made that my husband absolutely loved. We left out the oyster sauce and used 1/2 tbsp more soy sauce. We also added canned green beans right before serving (didn’t have any fresh). The slight sweetness to the sauce made it great! We will be making this again!

Sorry, but I am surprised by the great reviews this recipe received. The sauce did not thicken at all for me. It stayed very thin and soupy. By the time I gave up and added more starch, the ingredients were all overcooked. If I use this recipe again, I’ll definitely decrease the amount of beef broth that I use or increase the amount of starch from the start.

I don’t think this recipe gets enough credit for what it is. It’s basically like a beef and broccoli recipe. It has a really good flavor and is great with rice. I ALWAYS double the sauce paste because it thickens better. I would definitely use oyster sauce if you can find it because it adds another good dash of flavor to the sauce. I only use broccoli with this recipe because I don’t really like fancy colorful veggies. It’s also a good basic recipe and leaves lots of room for adding your own things. Doesn’t take very long either so give it a try.

I took the advice of the recipe submitter and used our vegetables of choice. I used broccoli instead of the carrots, mushrooms, and I used 3 different variety of bell instead of just the green. I gave this a 4 instead of 5 because I think the sauce really does need doubled to flavor your veggies and coat your rice some. I will make this again and next time I will try it over noodles. Thanks for a great recipe!

I agree with Katherine. Flavor was a bit on the plain side for me, too much beef broth. If I make this recipe again, I will have to use less broth. the beef was overcooked and hardened by the time to finished the dish and the sauce never thickened. But it is a basic recipe and can be easily revised to desired liking.

The combination of flavors were good but it wasn’t strong enough. I added my own veggies (broccoli, squash, zucchini and carrots) and increased the amount of sauce. I also had to increase the amount of soy sauce and oyster sauce to help the flavor. I also added 1/2-1 teaspoon of fish sauce to try and enhance the flavor as well as hot chili oil to add spice. In the end, there was more flavor, but I didn’t completely find the combination to feature the oyster sauce. Would make again with some adjusting in sauce proportions.

ok, I used venison steak instead of beef and cut them into 1″ stripes, and added onions,yellow pepper,red pepper, and shredded carrots. Moreover, I added Cabernet Sauvignon 1/2 cup, and the venison once the peppers and the onions were saut?ed. On the side I made a rue (flower&butter), and added to the mix at the end. I must say it was awesome!!! Over rice.

I don’t think this is enough really for 4 servings. Also, just adding 1 onion, 1 green pepper and 1 carrot wasn’t a terribly exciting vegetable mix or enough vegetables in my opinion, so I added plenty of other vegetables – extra carrot, snap peas, celery, broccoli, bamboo, etc. Also the sauce, although nice, was a little boring, so I would suggest spicing it up with some other ingredients. I added some sweet chilli sauce, but it would also be nice with other ingredients. It was a decent base recipe.

Excellent! However, the “paste” method in step 2 is hard to handle. Add 1/4 cup rice wine and wisk, then add to pan to thicken the sauce. I also added 2 thinly sliced fresh jalapenos for “Jalapeno Beef”, found in every Chinese restaurant, here in Texas anyway. Double up on the Garlic and Ginger too.

Oh this was yummy…I made a few changes due to what I had on hand but as long as you get the right kind of beef, it is tender and oh so yummy. I did not have any carrots, or ginger but did use bell pepper (red) and all the seasonings. I adjusted the seasoning for more flavor by adding more soy and oyster sauce. In the future I will add water chesnuts, maybe sprouts, multi color peppers and even tofu. A little extra cornstarch wouldn’t hurt (the recipe calls for “corn flour” in step number 2). The title should be “Asian Beef and Veggies” maybe… Regardless, this was YUMMY. We served it over yellow rice (weird but it seemed to work well).

My family loves this recipe. I generally follow the recipe except for 1) the cooking time on the beef as it depends on how it is cut. I buy the beef already cut up for stir fry at the store, 2) I switch out veggies depending what I have on hand and what looks good at the market, and 3) I always double the sauce.

We enjoyed this, but I improvised with the recipe, particularly in the technique. I used a sirloin steak that I sliced very thinly against the grain and on the diagonal when it was still in a semi-frozen state. Because it was so thinly sliced, it needed a very brief cooking time, just a minute or two on high heat. I removed it from the pan, then cooked the rest of the vegetables, little by little and being careful not to crowd the pan, on high heat and again, just a minute or so until they were crisp-tender. As I cooked each ingredient I dumped it in a ?holding bowl.? When the meat and all the vegetables were cooked I returned it all back to the pan where I added the sauce ingredients, omitting the sugar and ginger, and enough broth to get it to the desired thickness. I like very little, if any, sauce with my stir fry, so the amount of it was just right for me ? in fact, I didn?t even use all of the broth called for. Stir fry requires no simmering, so I returned it to the heat just long enough for the cornstarch mixture to thicken. Served over hot, cooked rice, this was so tasty, and just to our liking – without the sugar and ginger, and with nothing overcooked in order to retain each ingredient?s flavor and color. I?ll be ?hitting the road? again, so this was an ideal and delicious way to make use of the baby bok choy, sweet onion, zucchini, mixed color bell peppers and mushrooms I had in the fridge.

I have to say this is a very delicious recipe and easy to make. You can also play around with some of the ingredients. I added celery, mushrooms, and some shallots.I didn’t have the oyster sauce ( but would like to try it with it one day), and still the aroma and taste was just as good as any take out we’ve ever had. I look forward to having this again. ( my 9yr. Old daughter doesn’t eat meat, but she was asking for extra meat with her 2nd helping).

My husband & I enjoyed this recipe. I did as others & doubled the sauce (do NOT increase the broth when doing this) & tripled the garlic & ginger. I used thinly sliced top sirloin which only required it to be cooked for about 3 mins. I did not increase the amount of broth though & the sauce thickened beautifully. Veggies used: onion, broccoli, bean sprouts, water chestnuts, carrots, snow peas. Yummy!

Good basic recipe and exactly what I needed. Tonight was “leftover” night and I managed to create a new meal thanks to this recipe. I used precooked steak , sliced against the grain. (Heated slightly, removed from pan then added back after all the veggies so it didn’t end up over cooked) I used Zucchini, onion and carrots. Very easy to make, felt like it was missing some extra spices and that spicy ” kick” but can easily be added to suit your preferences. As written, it’s a solid 4 stars.

Loved this, used left over beef tenderloin sliced thin. Sauteed it with the onions in butter and veg oil. Then added the ginger and garlic, then added celery, green and yellow peppers, broccoli, carrots and mushrooms.
Didnt have oyster sauce so i just added a splash of sherry. Doubled the sauce and served it over brown rice. So good! -

Yummy and super easy weeknight prep dish. Like others I doubled the sauce and then added some sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and garlic chili sauce to the mix with a tad more sugar, then one tablespoon corn starch. I also used a bag of frozen stir fry veggies for super easy prep. Served over jasmine rice with peas. Hubs loved this dish and asked for a do over. Thanks for sharing!

This is a great recipe and I believe it was the cook (me) who prepared a bit less than delicious meal since I used leftover steak, frozen broccoli, no carrot and omitted the green pepper as I have a severe reaction to it. Using fresh ingredients would certainly make a difference. Next time I will make it with fresh ingredients and add a bit more cornstarch as the mixture never really thickened; in spite of all that, it was good. Husband really liked it. Just wait ’til he tries it using the correct ingredients!

I made this recipe with a few modifications. I started out by stir-frying the beef in oil, then set the beef aside. I cooked the onions and garlic, then added a bag of Asian veggies and some edamame, and the beef broth. I made the paste without the oyster sauce, then added it and the beef into the mix to heat through. Came out great!

Delicious! I will definitely make again! My modifications:
* doubled the sauce like so many recommended (good idea)
* used leftover already grilled T-bone steak, so added it last instead of first (although I’d do this anyway because who likes overcooked steak?)
* veggies I used were: bell pepper, sugar snap peas, broccoli, carrot, onion, mushroom, and lots of garlic
* used stock instead of broth
*didn’t have oyster sauce. Also, forgot to add ginger, which I wish I had remembered.
Definitely a repeat recipe. -

This recipe was perfect! Thanks for the reviewer who suggested doubling the gravy, it really does turn out better. I used ribeye steaks and sliced them as noted and that was the best decision ever/so tender! I used the vegetables suggested & a variety of bell peppers (green, yellow and red) and added broccoli that I steamed first and added at the end and put a lid on it to continue cooking until soft. My family LOVED it! It was so easy!
