Sticky Stir Fried Beef

I found this recipe by Brian Turner on the BBC recipe page.

Introduction
I don't usually cook beef, but as my mum gave me half a beef joint left over from christmas i thought i may aswell use it. However i'm use to cooking stir fries as i love them, i usually use chicken, quorn or just vegetables so it was good to try something different. This recipe was incredibley easily to make and it only took about 30mins to do. I did change the recipe slightly because i served it with egg noodles.

Appearance
Unfortunately i didn't take a picture because i was eager to dig in but it was a sticky, glossy, brown colour which looked very appertising.

Taste
The sauce was very nice with a sweet flavour, it reminded me of a plum sauce you would find in a chinese restaurant. However i would probably add more garlic to the recipe as i'm not to fond of a really sweet sauce. My boyfriend seemed to be very impressed with the sauce and the meat quoting 'I think i prefer beef stir fry to chicken' and he has got a sweet tooth.

Extra
I would definately use this recipe again maybe adding my own touch too it with a few more vegetables and see what it's like with chicken or other meats.
