A zippy marinade sparks the flavor of this change-of-pace steak specialty. Chock-full of veggies, seasonings and pineapple chunks, this stir-fry makes a colorful presentation when I serve it to relatives and friends.

Reviewed on Mar. 25, 2011 by keverwann

Made the following substitutions:

1. chicken for beef

2. water chestnuts for red bell pepper

3. 1/2 tsp ground ginger for 1 Tbsp (we don't really like ground ginger)

4. canned green beans for fresh

5. minced yellow onion for green onions

6. brown rice for white rice

7. upped cornstarch to 1 Tbsp because didn't discard marinade, but added it back as part of the sauce

Turned out okay/good. We didn't really care for the sweetness of the sauce, but the chicken tasted good in the marinade.
