    I made some standard variations on this, and it turned out well. Sesame oil for Olive, some extra veggies, and used less steak, but it was strip loin. I use a chinese five spice powder in lots of my stirfrys, and this one also got some lemon juice. Was a good base to work from though, thanks! - 10/10/08

    We tried it and it was very good. I also added carrot, cauliflower, broccoli and garlic to it. We like lots of veggies. - 1/27/09

    I agree that fresh ginger makes a world of difference and I, too, added a smidge of sesame oil for flavor, but it has a low smoking point and I don't use it for frying. - 11/8/07

    Love these one dish meals, could add even more veggies...it doesn't take long if you use a food processer. Well worth the trouble. - 6/3/09

    This was pretty bland. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't very flavorful either. - 4/7/08

    This was good, but I'll admit I didn't have any fresh ginger so used ground, dried ginger. And I used Lite Soy Sauce. I loved the veggie part of this, but not so much the round steak--no flavor (prefer flank steak). I added salt (which it's clear you tried to avoid) and, to me, it was much better. - 7/9/07

    cut out soy sauce all together, substitute sesame oil for the olive oil. Better flavor! - 3/16/07

    Pretty bland. Cooking times led to mushy onions. I used venison tenderloin. I won't add the cornstarch next time. - 6/24/09

    hm, mixed opinion of this dish. i'm vegetarian so i won't be adding beef, maybe prawns instead. i agree that there are way too many ingredients lol. i'll cut a few out :] thank you for the recipe though. :] - 8/9/08

    Don't forget to add some pea pods to this dish or substitute any or all of the veggies with them. You can purchase frozen pea pods for stir frying. Less veggie prep for this recipe for those who are in a time crunch. - 5/11/08

    this looks good. Maybe I can substitute chicken or add some shrimp. Baby corns are always good in stir fry, as well as broccoli and carrots. - 5/11/08

    Tasted okay, prefer not to use round steak, as it can be tough. - 2/11/08

    I didn't have wine so used beef stock in the marinade and also added brocolli and cauliflower. I decided not to add the corn starch and was very pleased with the flavor. - 7/29/12
