Outside of adding some fresh minced garlic, I prepared this following the recipe closely. And we enjoyed the heck out of it. Sometimes things don't need a whole lot of explanation or analysis. This is one of those times. It works. (I used No Name Sirloin Steaks, baby bok choy and basmati rice. Hubs made "Cucumber Sunomono" to go with - delicious )

Perfect for weekdays. Prepare night before so all you have to do next day is cook it. A few things I did other than recipe called for: 1) Marinate Beef overnight in salt, pepper, minced ginger. 2) Cut up all veggies night before. Placed all veggies together in ziplock bag in fridge. 3) Mixed sauce night before and added red pepper flakes to add spice. I browned the beef with the ginger that I marinated with. It added that "japanese" flavor that I was looking for. Enjoy!

YUMYY! I didn't have shitake mushrooms on hand so I just used regular button mushrooms. This was a big hit! Will make again!

Fabulous! Even my pickiest child loved it! Marinated the meat in 1cup soy, 2TBS chopped garlic, and 1/4cup lemon juice. Tenderizes the meat nicely.

This recipe was simple, easy but taste amazing. I even screwed up and forgot to add the broth and it still turned out amazing.

great recipe!!!! i loved it. It felt like I was eating at a fancy asian restaurant....but even better!!!!! and I cooked it all by myself!!!!!

i made this today. i omitted mushrooms and used less soy sauce. i will make this again. tasty recipe

This was a nice stir fry. I prepped all of the ingredients the day before (thawed/sliced/marinated beef and chopped all of the veggies) so it was a much smoother weeknight meal. Following the advice of fellow reviewers, I marinated the beef in a soy/lemon juice/garlic marinade to ensure the meat would be tender and it really added a nice flavor to the beef. I followed the rest of the recipe, save two ingredients: our local grocery store doesn't carry bok choy, so I used green cabbage and I DETEST celery, so I left that out. I'm lazy, so I added all of the beef at once, then removed it and took care of the veggies. I didn't feel like removing the veggies, so I removed the pan from the heat and heated the sauce in the small saucepan, then added the sauce/meat to the veggies and stirred. I served this over brown rice. 4 stars because this is crazy salty, and I used reduced sodium soy sauce. And I love salt. Oh yeah, I also added a bit of sesame oil to the oil (and I reduced it to 1T) to give it a bit more of an Asian flair than just the name :)

I found this recipe looking up healthier beef recipes on Allrecipes. It tasted pretty good, but boy was it time consuming! I actually cut up all the vegetables and sliced the meat earlier in the day because I was going to be busy in the evening. Half the meat and vegetables had to be cooked at a time, as suggested, which made it a little messy and dirtied more dishes than necessary. The end result strangely reminded me a little bit of the flavor of chop suey. I definitely will try buying the sirloin as suggested. I thought it was way more tender than round steak. I also don't ever use bok choy so that was an interesting addition I had not thought of. Overall it was just too much time in the kitchen, for my normal quick stir fry recipes, but it surprisingly was much better than what I would expect from a healthier beef dish.

this was very good, however i made it easy on myself and used frozen stir fry vegs.
