Noodles With Honey-Balsamic Beef image

I found this winner in the current issue of "Midwest Living." It intrigued me so much that I immediately went shopping for the ingredients. I was not dissapointed, the combination of the honey and vinegar with the added heat of the red pepper flakes was wonderful!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beef turned out tough. Any suggestions?

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar. Can I use a different type of vinegar?

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll cut the honey in half next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more garlic.
