I'm not sure I'm doing this right but here goes. We loved this recipe. The combination of vegetables was perfect, it was fast and easy to make and the cooking time was under 20 minutes which I liked. Great recipe would make it again.

Nice combination of vegetables. I like the cornstarch on the steak as it helpos to give a crisp coating to the meat. I only stir fried the veggies until they were heated through so trhey would remainb crisp. Excellent meal enjoyed by all - I wish you luck in the contest

Our family LOVED this recipe. When I didn't have meat, I used cut up chicken breasts instead. Just as yummy!!

I made this when my husband invited a friend (at the last minute)for dinner. Everyone in my family seemed to like it. I felt like it needed a little more flavor. Maybe next time I'll try a little red pepper flake or more ginger.
