Ingredients

1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/4 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 beef top sirloin steak (1 pound), cut into thin strips
2 tablespoons cornstarch

I loved this!! I did all the prep work before hand so all I had to do was throw together and cook, made it simple. Yummmm.

What did I do wrong? Everything was looking yummy, but I went to add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, everything went to goo! The carrots and other vegetables globbed up and everything looked like glue! (no worries about bringint it to a boil, there really was no liquid to boil!) However, I proceeded with the recipe, added the beef and pineapple and dinner was a success! I love the pineapple; I would add more next time. But if you could tell me how to prevent everything from clumping together next time, I'd sure appreciate it! (was the cornstarch mixture supposed to be hot when added to the pan?)

Great way to use up leftover pot roast! Instead of soaking raw meat I cut of the meat from our roast and soaked it for the greater part of the day and then just popped in in the microwave before adding it to the stir-fry!

I don't eat red meat so I substituted chicken into it and it was great. I love Chinese food and will be making this or variations of this at least twice a month

I had done all the cutting up and prep work earlier, so when I went to cook it, it was super fast and super easy. But all veggie prep could be done while the meat marinades.

This was so tasty. I don't have a lot of recipes for red meat (that isn't ground beef), but this one is a keeper for sure!!
