This dish is way too complicated. I spent hours in the kitchen and the results were not worth it.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out bland. I think it needs more seasoning.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar by half next time.

I'm not a fan of orange, so I used lemon zest instead. The dish was still delicious and the lemon zest added a nice brightness to the sauce.

I made this dish in my slow cooker and it turned out great! The beef was fall-apart tender and the sauce was rich and flavorful.

I'm not a fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the recipe. The dish was still delicious, but I think it would have been even better with the cinnamon.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I made it with some leftover roast beef and it was delicious.
