So easy and so very tasty. I did add some salt & freshly ground black pepper to this dish to season more. A definite 'keeper' for me :)

Very tasty and quick meal! I threw in more veggies...mushrooms with the onions, zucchini with the tomatoes and garlic and bean sprouts with the green onions and they all worked very well. I also stirred in about a cup and a half of cooked brown rice toward the end and heated through. I used a bit more garlic and minced it instead of just smashing it. I didn't really like the cornstarch in this. It did thicken the pan juices but I didn't like the "crust" on the meat. I think next time I will omit it. I loved the additonal flavor from the sherry! Thanks for sherring...er sharing! :)

I added snap peas with the tomatoes and garlic. Maybe it would have been 5 stars if I'd used 3 garlic cloves instead. The dish became saucier as we ate it, as the tomato juices mixed with the beef's flour mix. Also, it needed some salt and pepper. But overall an excellent meal.
