Very easy to make (and freezes well in the marinade). Hubby loved it. Thanks.

    I've never had Ginger Beef before so I don't have anything to compare it to except other stir fry recipes. The flavor is excellent. You get a strong ginger flavor that blended nicely with the carrots and red pepper. I prefer to have a stir fry that has a lot of sauce so that there is extra to accompany the rice. With this recipe, there is no extra sauce.

    An excellent, quick dinner. I sliced the beef and put it in the marinade, then prepared the other ingredients. By that time the 30 min marinade time was up, and voila! delicious dinner! This is definitely gingery, but that is a great compliment to the other ingredients. I used Splenda in place of the sugar in the marinade to cut carbs, and used a green pepper instead of the red since that is what I had on hand. I added a handfull of slivered almonds with the vegetables for some added crunch. I believe next time I will julienne the carrots instead of grating so they will hold their shape and give a bit more texture. Great recipe. Thanks for sharing.

    Try this recipe! I followed the recipe listed, except that I took Leta's suggestion and I julienned the carrots. What a great meal! It did take me a little longer to make than is listed, but well worth it. My husband thought it was one of the best I've made. After comments like that, I'll be making this again and again. Thanks for the recipe!
