This was wonderful! Filets are expensive so this is an occasional treat for us. I cooked the meat longer than called for, but it continues to cook while sitting on the cutting board, so you'll have to judge, depending on how you like your meat.

I use chuck because it is the most tender and moist stew. Also, I couldn't manage the 2 forks, so I just "squished" the beef between my fingers til it shredded!

I've never been successful stir frying beef and having it come out tender, so I used chuck and cooked like beef stew for 2 hours, then froze it. When I was ready to make this, I defrosted beef, and cooked broccoli and pea pods in microwave. I then cooked peppers and garlic, stir in beef and veggies and added sauce. It tasted great.
