Kraft Kitchens Tips

Shortcut

Purchase carrots already cut into matchlike sticks to prepare this recipe. Look for them in the produce section of larger supermarkets.

Cutting Beef Strips

Freeze the steak 30 min. before cutting into strips. The firmer steak will be easier to cut.

This was very good and easy to make. Except for the carrots that I cut into matchsticks myself from baby carrots I had on hand. That was a "never do again". I served it over white rice and since I had a slice of pineapple in the frig, I diced it up and tossed on the top. The heat of the spices and the crunch of the veggies hit the spot. Next time I think I'll cut the meat into shorter, more bitesize strips. Very Good Recipe!!

Amazing! Better than take out. My family raved over this dish. I can't wait to make it again. I did double the sauce. Just fantastic. Thin slices are important. You can't go wrong with this.
