My DH and I liked this. I love green onions so I was looking forward to making it. I did think that this would be spicy. But I thought it was warm at most and DH thought it was sweet. The next time I make this I will at least double the pepper flakes. I also think that other vegetables would be good with this and then I would double the sauce and triple the flakes. I didn't remove the garlic from the pan when I took out the green onions but left it in the pan while the meat cooked. Thanks for a tasty and fast recipe.

    This was excellent excellent excellent! A+++++ I used boneless sirloin as my meat and we only got 3 servings out of it. That was ok since there are 3 of us. But I do wish I had doubled the recipe since it was so good- I wished there was more. Next time I will double this! Thank you for posting!

    This was great; my family didn't leave a speck of leftovers on the platter. I did use sirloin instead of round steak, and left out the green onions (DS doesn't like them). I also increased the sauce a bit since I had slightly more than a pound of meat and DH and I like lots of sauce! I added a wee bit of sesame oil into the chili sauce mixture, which I will continue to do as I liked the flavour it added. I had some steamed broccoli, and decided at the last minute to just toss it in as well, to make this a complete stirfry along with the rice (I served jasmine rice with this). Adding the broccoli worked well and I'll try it next time with an assortment of veggies, I think. This recipe is a real keeper for me — it was easy to get together, cooked quickly, and was made with ingredients I had on hand. Thanks for posting!

    What a great dish! I think the addition of chili sauce is what that makes this so good, I increased the red pepper flakes to about 2 teaspoons and used 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic, I served this with rice, quick easy and so good, my family loved this, thank you for sharing hon!...Kitten
