I didnt want starchy so I left the starch and water altogether from the recipe. I stir fried the veggies with heated oil and salt and set it aside. We bought a high grade steak and salt/peppered it before lightly pan frying it (left it med rare). Cut it in thick slices, put it on a med shallow plate, topped it with the cooked veggies and had it with ponzu sauce (instead of the soy sauce since I didnt want heavy soy sauce taste) for dinner that night. had it with some white rice. It was fabulous. I could never imagine the celery and onion combination but it matched oh so well with the beef. Really enjoyed the texture and flavor mixture in my mouth. thank you for the recipe!

We really liked it! It provided a way to have a good healthy meal and use a cheaper cut of meat. I used extra veggies and eliminated the cornstarch. This will be in the regular meal rotation. Thanks!

I made this for my grandparents because I wanted to make sure it was something they could undoubtedly eat. It ended up being really popular. I made twice the celery and onion and added that to some steamed broccoli which I then sauteed in a little extra soy sauce and served on top of a bed of jasmine. Next time I think I would add one diced jalepeno for my own personal enjoyment.

This is a pretty good meal. I looked at my "fresh" celery and rather than trying to salvage the green parts, I opted to substitute it and the cornstarch with 1 can of condensed cream of celery. I also opted for the nuttier Maggi Seasoning for soy sauce. The broth was fabulous, but somehow it didn't quite marry with the beef. Next time, I'll either follow this recipe verbatum or maybe add the onions at the beginning of the simmering process and modify this review, accordingly.

Loved this!!! I would add more beef. But no complaints at all. Delicious!!!

yummy.. so good. i didn't have to add the cornstarch. most of the water was gone but it was still good with the little liquid that was left over rice. tomorrow i'm going to try it with pork!! mmm yum!

This was GREAT. Easy to make and full of flavor. I will make this again!!!

Easy to make, tastes very good. Excellent over rice as suggested. Great use for an economical beef cut.

Just O.K. I liked it, but my family didn't care for it. I probably won't make it again.

I was surprised by how much my boyfriend loved this, despite how easy it was to make!

This was a good recipe and easy to make. I would use a little less pepper if serving it to kids.

This was OK, nothing special. I probably won't make it again but if I did I would double the meat, there definitely wasn't enough.

Used more beef, pepper to taste, and added some minced garlic and chopped green bell pepper. Served over white rice and this was well recieved by my family. Not complex and lacks depth but very homey, filling, and stick-to-your ribs dinner. Thanks Vicki.

Folowed directions, Nothing extra added, Everyone enjoyed the recipe at dinner. I dont usually add reviews. but this was easy and very tasty. I will cook this often. Thanks Vickie!

was the 1st time i ever made it and the entire ohana loved it only thing i did diffrent was add 2 cans mushrooms. will use this recipe over and over very easy to make thanks

I have found that some of the best recipes are the simplest. This recipe fits that bill. You can dress it up, or leave it alone, and it still comes out good. Thanks for a good, basic recipe that you can make with ingredients on hand!
