Everyone seemed to like it, but they said something was missing. I may sprinkle a little crushed pepper to spice it up next time. I doubled all ingredients except for the sugar, I used 1/2 tsp. of brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. ground ginger and in addition to the minced garlic, I sprinkled some garlic powder in too. Thanks to Mike T for his recommendations.

I didn't read the reviews before I made this, and I guess I should have. I don't usually follow a recipe exactly, but I did with this one. However, it came out extremely bland. I like all of the elements but it has no real flavor. Definitely needs salt, pepper and onion at a minimum.

Made this for the second time and it is very close to restaurant quality and taste, if you follow some of the modifications in the reviews. I doubled the sauce recipe and parboiled the broccoli, and added an onion. Will keep this in our rotation.

I looked up several of this recipe on this site and others; this was the best basic recipe. Mike T's review I followed many of his suggestions. I also used about 2 T oyster sauce, some sesame oil and corn starch instead of flour, stevia extract instead of sugar. I marinated the cut beef strips in sauce a few minutes took beef out with slotted spoon, cooked a few minutes, and then took beef out of pan. Sauce in the pan I added remaining marinade, then added corn starch, cooked and stirred till it was gravy/sauce consistency. Cut onion slices added to broccoli. Returned beef to gravy/sauce, then broccoli and onions, cooked a few minutes so vegetables were heated but still a little crisp, served on rice. Turned out great.

This was fine, but lacked something. I used dried ginger, so maybe that was why. It kind of tasted like just a beef gravy... Next time I will try adding the cayenne others suggested.

My husband loved this recipe after I generously increased the fresh ginger. Quick and easy for someone who works.

This recipe was so good! I am very picky about my Chinese take-out and this will replace it! I bought pre-tenderized round steaks and cooked the strips in sesame oil. The sauce/gravy was amazing! We were impressed. It thickened perfectly and there was plenty of extra sauce for the rice.
