  1. This was a hit over the weekend when we had guests for dinner. Made 2 changes, I sauteed some veggies (pak choy, spring onions, red cabbage and red capsicum) and added drained sauce then heated until buubbly. I grilled the whole rump steak to med rare and then sliced very finely ( always across the grain!! ) and added to sauce and veg just before serving. Meat was the tenderest ever and veggies had a nice crunch! Only comment would be maybe make extra sauce if going to add veggies, so there is plenty to serve with rice or noodles! Will make again, a real nice flavour!!
     
  2. Good recipe. Substituted beef broth for the water/cube. I used a homemade canned chinese plum sauce and it worked nicely. My plum sauce was abit on the tart side but it matched nicely with the other ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. I enjoyed the flavor of the plum sauce. It was a nice variation for a stir fry. I used flank steak because I find rump steak a little too tough. I also cooked this along with some extra veggies.
     
  4. FABULOUS and VERY authentic flavours! What a dream of a recipe, we both realy enjoyed this for lunch, with plain boiled rice and stir-fry Chinese vegetables. My sauce was thick but still runny enough to coat the beef and mix in with the rice and veggies - the best bit about a good sauce! The recipe was well written and easy to follow, with not TOO many ingredients to create such an authentic flavour. I have no real tips to add other than go easy on the chilli pepper!! I should have taken the seeds out of mine, it was mind blowingly hot - but we LOVE it hot! A tangy, sweet, slightly hot, savoury and very deep flavoured sauce with meltingly tender beef - this is more than 5 stars for us - a WINNER thanks Jules! Made for the Asian Tag Game 2008. FT:-)
     
  5. Good flavor with little effort. The marinade was thick, but did make plenty of sauce. The fresh ginger added a nice zing. I couldn't find red fresh chilis so I used dried and it came out just perfect. Thanks Jewelies! Made for Chinese/Vietnamese New Year Tag in Asian Forum.
