I've seen some reviewers really trash this recipe, including one unfortunate person who was upset because the beef wasn't cooked to her liking...so COOK IT SOME MORE!
I agree with reviewers that the peanut sauce doesn't have nearly enough peanut taste. I added 3/4 c. peanut butter instead of the 1/4 c. to the original sauce, included in the same episode under the stir-fried shrimp recipe.
Then, I just like my steak cooked. Maybe not the most cosmopolitan, but that's just me. Instead of Robin's suggested 4 minutes, I actually cooked it 12. I would actually advocate dressing and tossing the salad before adding the dressing, and then sprinkling some additional sauce on the beef. It was so good! I will definitely be making this one again...soon!

I watched the show so I knew she made a big batch of the sauce. Problem was the sauce tasted mostly like broth. I used beef broth instead of chicken and added an extra tablespoon of peanut butter, yet the flavor was still not a rich as other's I have had. I was very disappointed.

This flank steak was served so rare that looking at it made me sick. Can't believe she promotes serving bloody beef. Gross
