My friend told me to try this recipe and it turned out great. I sauteed a sliced small onion with the garlic, then added the beef with siracha sauce and crushed red chillies. I also added a chicken stock boullion.

This a definite keeper! My 12 y/o son loved it. I used a pound of ground beef but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Very quick and easy. It had a nice thick rich flavorful gravy. I'll be making this again soon. Yum!

Pot-luck hit! I used 3 colours of peppers, very pretty.

I made a few adjustments like others did. I used sliced sirloin filet which I marinated in mushroom soy sauce while I prepared the vegetables. I can't say how much, I just did it to taste, MAYBE about 3tbsp and a few shakes of garlic powder (in addition to the cloves of garlic). My boyfriend doesn't like peppers, so I used onions instead. I think fresh sliced mushrooms would have been great in it if I had any on hand. Kept everything else the same. Everything turned out great. This dish is similar to a dish that my mom makes. She uses kale though, so I think kale would be a great substitute for the cabbage. Only gave it a 4 though because even with all the changes and was great, it still needed something extra for oomph in flavor. Mushrooms may make it a 5 for me. Will definitely try again.

I stumbled upon this recipe while looking for a way to use up ground sirloin. I substituted green beans for the cabbage, doubled the soy and added chili paste. The flavor was good, but the texture reminded me of boxed dinners...will try again with sliced beef and not ground.

I made this twice in 1 week. Awesome. 1st time used green bell pepper (what I had) and added a bit of ginger. 2nd time I used chicken, threw in some broccoli, yellow onion, green onion and more ginger in addition to the cabbage and bell pepper. This is so easy and delicious. All 3 of us couldn't get enough. Thank you so much for sharing.

Fantastic! Very simple to make. I used venison, added a little onion, and reduced the black pepper to 1/4 tsp. I loved it! Thanks for a quick and easy recipe!

I also used top sirloin cut into strips, however I marinated the beef in schewan sauce and a dash of chili garlic sauce. I added an onion and snap peas and found this dish to be very good. I like my food spicy, so I added more chili garlic sauce to my plate. Will make again.

This was my most adventurous attempt to date, and I am happy to say it was a hit! I took advice from some other reviewers, and added some spices, and a little more soy...but overall it was tasty and quick! Hubby liked it, and baby girl is still eating her serving with gusto. Thanks for the great quick recipe Perlie!

I would give this recipe 4.5 stars if I could. Didn't knock our socks off, but it was a quick meal w/ a great taste. I used 1 cup of beef broth instead of the water, and added red pepper flakes for some heat and color. Great basic recipe that's easy to alter according to your own tastes. Will definitely be making this one again !! Thanks Pearlie !

Very Good! I left all pepper out of my toddler's bowl and added crushed red pepper flakes to my husband and my dinner. Everyone liked it including the little guy who shoveled it in his face with both hands saying "mmmm".

Very good. I like this healthy and yuumy meal. I didn't add quite as much black pepper (family preference) and substituted beef stock for the water. THere is a lot of natural flavor in this dish and my family loved it. Will make again and again!

Our family loved this recipe - I did make a few changes,as others had suggested. I added some onion, which I browned with the beef and pepper strips - also used beef broth in place of water. I added some sesame oil and a bit of hot sauce. Served it over rice. There were no leftovers. We have a garden and the cabbage is at it's peak, so we will be enjoying this again soon. Thanks Pearlie.

Cabbage is always good stir-fried, but the original recipe needs more flavor. I used some grated ginger and red pepper flakes instead of black pepper. It's more interesting-looking if you use red cabbage or yellow bell peppers.

I was excited about this recipe because I love cabbage in chinese, others had rated it so highly, and because of how versitle it is when it comes to veggies you can add, but I was really disappointed. I headed the advice of others and added more spices - onion powder and ginger - to the meat as it cooked. I replaced the water with beef broth, and added mushrooms and water chestnuts. For the cabbage, I used a bag of cole slaw, with carrot. When I tried it just before serving over rice, I discovered the sauce was definitely lacking. Adding teriyaki helped, but it wasn't enough to save it.

I made this with 1 bag of coleslaw mix already shredded and a bag of frozen stir-fry peppers. Also used 1 1/2 lbs hamburger so the recipe came out to about double portions. I used beef broth instead of water with the cornstarch and used twice the amount with 2 TB cornstarch. Also I thought it needed more pizazz so added ginger, cayenne pepper, and hot sauce. Turned out pretty good.
