Expert Tips

Thinly sliced chicken can be used instead of the beef.

Buy beef already sliced from the meat department, or ask the butcher to slice it for you.

I thought this was delicious and so did my husband. I will agree it has the possibility of being bland. Definitely use the flavored tomatoes and add some of your won spices. I upped the garlic, salt, pepper and added oregno, italian seasoning, parsley, and basil. It doesn't have a STRONG flavor but it has a really nice, light, yummy flavor. And the stir fry beef is way better than using hamburger. Gives it lots of texture and more flavor. Will definitely make again.

I thought this was just ok. Could have used a bit more flavor. I used chicken and plain diced tomatoes because that's what I had. But I was looking for something different to do with the pepper and onion stir-fry mixture (which I also already had on hand), and this fit the bill. I'll try it again using beef instead of chicken, which should give it a bit more flavor, and I'll use the seasoned tomatoes. I also think a bit of cheese melted on top would be just right for this dish.
