This wasn't bad, but I couldn't give it five stars--my son loved it, but my husband and I thought it was tasty but really salty. Come to think of it, with soy sauce, beef boullion, and canned tomatoes, how could it not be? I just now looked at the sodium content in the recipe--more than 1400 grams per serving! Holy smokes! Anyway, it was really easy and quick to put together, so perhaps with some lower salt modifications, I might make this again sometime.

This was very good -- will probably add it to my regular "rotation." I made it because I had a package of beef round sandwich steaks from my supermarket's meat department, and wanted to make something with them other than steak sandwiches. For this recipe, I just cut them up into strips. Good way to use this inexpensive cut of beef. The recipe does make a lot of gravy; next time I would probably reduce the amount of liquid. I didn't use water and bouillon -- just canned beef broth, which saves a step. I was glad I drained the canned tomatoes, which the recipe doesn’t specify but should, IMO. I would also cut back the soy sauce a little, but that’s just personal taste. I served it with a package of frozen, steam-in-the-bag white rice with vegetables, just as a timesaver. I think this made a better accompaniment than plain white rice would have.

Why do people give recipes 4 stars when they change the recipe, if you change the recipe then it is your own fault if it doesn't turn out!!

This is an easy recipe to make. However, the taste was nothing special, kinda like a slighly fancier ghoulash. Not bad; not really delicious, but not bad.

I'll give this 3.5 stars. In my opinion, this recipe is average - not the best but not terrible either. I used boneless sirloin, added chopped onion, decreased the water by 1/2 cup, and added sliced mushrooms toward the end. I was able to serve it with brown rice so it gets points for that.

Very tasty but needs more 'stuff' in it. I will add mushrooms and red peppers next time.

Nice, healthy meal. I used a cut of the Laura's beef + did not make the gravy. I used two kinds of peppers and served over brown rice. A great way to have a correct portion of red meat.

Great Recipe. Very tasty. I had 1 1/4 lbs of round steak so I cut back the tomatoes to 14 oz & used 1 c of water with beef bouillon. I used red pepper instead of green pepper.

Good recipe!! A bit on the soupy side but very flavorful. I added red pepper as well as the green pepper. I will make this again, cutting back on the water next time.

A tad soupy, in my opinion...I will try this again but next time I will only use about 1/2 cup of water to dissolve the boullion cube in...it has a nice flavour otherwise. I was a bit apprehensive about the ginger, but it was not strong at all. I am anxious to try the leftovers today as so many say they are better than the first time around.

This was really good. Here were my modifications: I added a red bell pepper, a sliced onion, and about 4 cloves of garlic along with the bell pepper. I used 2 15 oz cans of whole tomatoes, and cut up the tomatoes myself. I only added 1-1/3 cup of water along with the bullion, and used 3 TBS of the cornstarch. I used about 1/3 tsp of ground ginger as we are not real crazy about this spice. It sure made a lot, and it was really really good. As others said, the next day it was even better with the melding of the flavors. The only thing is that next time, I will use a more tender cut of steak (vs the london broil which I used). The meat was kind of tough. But the flavor was excellent!!!! Good find.

We loved this recipe! My BF made it and it turned out perfect. The gravy is a little tomato-y but we really enjoyed that. The leftovers were even better because the sauce thickened up even more. We would definitely make this again.

This recipe was not bad, and fairly easy to make. My husband liked it, and he is a picky eater. I wasn't incredibly impressed, though, and will probably stick to a traditional beef stir-fry recipe. For the tomatoes, I recommend using fresh, or making sure the canned ones you buy do not come in sauce. I had to drain mine quite a bit, and they still make the sauce kind of like tomato gravy.
