I'm not sure why this was such a raving hit with everyone else. I followed the recipe (minus celery) exactly. To me it was a good solid recipe, but it's missing that IT factor that sets it apart.

    Boy, o boy!This was terrific! I don't know what inspired me to make pepper steak today but I know my corner pork store has pepper steak cuts all read to go, so I picked some up and used this recipe! I LOVED the flavor this recipe creates. The only thing I omitted was the celery and I browned the veggies in a bit of oil and soy sauce before adding to the meat. I will be making this again and again. Thanks for sharing!!

    This is wonderful!!! It was a hit in my house. Infact I have to make it again this weekend!! I made it with some Beef fried rice made from a seasoning packet from the store. They raved about this for days! I will make it with fresh cut tomatoes and bigger cut onions and fresh garlic.. I recommend this to anyone Even if you never have cooked chinese before. cause I never have and did good!
