Ingredients

  • 175g lean beef strips
  • 80g brown rice (dry weight)
  • 150g frozen stir-fry veg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Method

  1. Cook the rice according to its packet instructions, then drain if needed.
  2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat and stir-fry the lean beef strips for 3-4 minutes, until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add frozen stir-fry veg and stir-fry over high heat for 3-4 minutes, keeping everything moving so it stays crisp.
  4. Stir in soy sauce, toss to coat and serve with the rice.

Making it ahead

Cool it, get it into the fridge within one to two hours and eat it within two days; freeze portions you will not reach in time. Cooked rice is stricter: chill it within an hour, keep it for a day at most and reheat it only once. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through. How we handle food safety.
