Nutritional benefits

Lean beef provides protein, iron and zinc. Seared quickly with plenty of crunchy vegetables, it’s a balanced, quick, lactose-free dish. The spices add intense flavour without any added fat.

Variations and substitutions

• With chicken or tofu.
• Asian wok-style (ginger, sesame).
• With seasonal vegetables.
• On a bed of noodles.

Storage and making ahead

Best just cooked; keeps for 2 days and reheats quickly in a frying pan.

💡 Good to know

Sear the beef in several batches over a very high heat: too much meat at once lowers the temperature and the meat boils instead of browning.
