Sorry, but we didn't really care for this. Not sure if it was the chili sauce I used (Asian gourmet sweet chili sauce), but I found it, as warned in the description, UN authentic. I will not be making this again, but thanks for sharing!

    I have two picky teenagers. One like this and one didn't. I myself liked it. Not fantastic...but good. Will make again.

    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
