Sweet-Sour Beef image

I like to serve this sweet and sour dish over pasta shells and then garnish each serving with fresh chives. Chock-full of tender beef, sliced carrots, green pepper and onion, it is so hearty and delicious. -Beth Husband, Billings, Montana

I would give this recipe 5 stars if it weren't for the fact that the beef was a little tough. Other than that, it was a great dish.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar or adding a little bit of vinegar to balance out the flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of sweet and sour sauce, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The sauce was not too sweet and the beef was tender and flavorful.

The beef was a little tough, but the sauce was delicious. I think I will try a different cut of beef next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more pineapple. Other than that, it was perfect.
