Peking Beef

mande237's Note:

I am a big fan of chinese food and where i live there aren't any chinese shops. I was searching the internet and found a recipe for peking chicken. Personally I am a fan of peking beef so I made a few changes to the recipe and it turned out to be absolutely beautiful. Note this recipe is a bit saucier than what you would get from a chinese shop.

I reduced the five spice as per previous reviewer and it was fine :)

Unfortuatly this recipe had way to much five spice in it for us. I think maybe 1tsp would have been ample for this recipe. I did ads more hoisin sauce as it was cooking but it was too late. sorry Made for Sping PAC 2008
