Great for lunch or dinner, this nutrition-packed beef stir-fry with brown rice recipe is one that deserves to go in your recipe scrapbook or files saved on your computer.
The beef strips are your flavourful protein source, whilst the brown rice is chock-full of vitamins and minerals plus fibre. The bok choy, zucchini, carrot, capsicum and shiitake mushroom further enrich the nutritional profile of this tasty dish whilst also adding more fibre and colour.
For optimum nutrition and flavour, use grass-fed or free-range beef from your local butcher. You can even switch things up in the vegetable department by using your favourite vegetable. Just remember to take note of the cooking time for each vegetable so you don’t end up with soft, soggy veggies. Instead, you’ll want them slightly firm with a tiny crunch of freshness.
Also, if you’re not a great fan of chilli, you can substitute it with minced garlic or chopped onions that’ll definitely transform the flavour profile of this dish.
And since the thin beef strips don’t take much time to cook and you can have all the vegetables prepped right away and ready for cooking, you can cook this meal in a couple of minutes.
This means it’s a real timesaver, making it an ideal meal for those days when all you want is a tasty meat and veggie dish minus the extra time and effort.
