BEEF VEGETABLE STIR FRY
Stir-fries make for quick and healthy weeknight dinners. This tasty meal is packed with thin strips of sirloin steak, fresh veggies and Asian-inspired flavours. We like serving it over ultra-thin vermicelli noodles, but you can substitute with steamed rice if you’d prefer.
Yield: Serves 4.
