Great spicy flavor...a unique sandwich that I will make again. My husband thougt it was to spicy so I will not use the chili oil next time and reduce the cayenne just a little. Thanks Derf! -
Delicious!! Easy to make too. I was afraid that the meat was going to come out very tough but it was really just perfect. I also substituted soy sauce for the oyster sauce the way another reviewer posted. Also, I thought I had bread but it turned out to be too old, so I put mine on a tortilla and my husband's serving on rice and it was terrific both ways. I want to try it again with bread too :D Thanks for sharing!! :D -
this is such a great recipe! i cheated and used pastrami from the deli that i thinly sliced and marinated in a ziplock. i used soy sauce instead of oyster, otherwise i stayed true to the recipe! delish! next time i will try it with real steaks, but the pastrami was very tasty...plus less work! ;) this would probably be good with deli roast beef, too! thanks, derf, for another keeper!!! -
Had this tonight for dinner, it was absolutely delicious. I used regular oil and it just wasn't spicy at all to me, so next time I'll either use the chili oil, as you suggested, or use more cayenne pepper. I'll also be sure to make more of a sauce as it just didn't seem to have nearly enough for my tastes. I'll also try to serve this over garlic toast next time. Also, for anyone that can make beef jerky... the marinade for this... would be perfect to flavor it! Thank you so much for the recipe Derf. -
Delicious, simple and quick! Prepared exactly according to the recipe, the only change I'll make next time is to try it with the chili oil. Will definately have again!
