I only gave this recipe three stars because while it's very easy to make it does need some tweaking.
One of the reasons the steak comes out tough is because in essence the steak is being boiled in the sauce and not really stir-fried.
To ensure that your steak comes out perfect every time stir-fry the veggies, remove from the pan. Then add the beef, stir-frying in a small amount of oil till it's done to your liking. Remove and keep warm with the veggies. THEN add the sauce ingredients and cook about 3 minutes, add corn starch to thicken. Add the veggies and steak to the sauce, tossing to coat and heat through -- about 1-2 minutes.
The steak will be perfectly cooked and your veggies will stay crisp-tender.
When I make this recipe I cut back on the vinegar and honey to about 2 TBS each and add some fresh grated ginger and red pepper flakes.
It's even better then take-out! This recipe also works well with chicken cut into thin strips or quickly stir-fried shrimp!
