Think of this stir-fry as your chance to play with heat and spice. I balance the beef with coconut milk and a spritz of lime. -Joy Zacharia, Clearwater, Florida

This stir-fry was a bit too spicy for me, but it was still very good.

This stir-fry was not good. The beef was tough and the vegetables were overcooked.

This stir-fry was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, and the beef was a little tough. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love this stir-fry! It's so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually serve it over rice, but it would also be great over noodles.

This stir-fry was delicious! I used a bit more spice than the recipe called for, and it was perfect. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection.

This stir-fry was so flavorful and easy to make! I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix, and it was a perfect way to use up some leftover vegetables.
