    This was very good and easy to make. Only thing I did different was to double the sauce, but use half the tamari and soy sauce. The brand of soy sauce I have is pretty salty. Thanks for the recipe!

    This is absolutely delicious.

    Unfortunately our oven caught on fire and due to supply chain issues the replacement oven is oos. So I wound up frying it all. Started with the broccoli then the meat in batches. Once meat seared, combined all in the skillet then added the sauce. If I windup using this method again I'll reduce the sesame oil in the sauce because I used oil (combo veg/sesame) to fry the broccoli and meat.

    Sure!

    The flavour was good , but the beef was tough. Likely my fault. 😬 Either it was because I used Beef Strips already cut up instead of sirloin steaks or because I used the fan-forced setting on the oven and didn’t compensate by turning down the temperature. I also didn’t read the recipe properly and failed to heat up

    Not quite a disaster due to the tasty ingredients. Any tips would be appreciated. I’m willing to try again.

    In the tips you say “ If you do not have access to Chinese cooking wine, feel free to substitute it with dry sherry or sake.” But there is no mention of Chinese cooking wine or dry sherry or sake in the recipe. Am I missing something? Thanks.
