Broccoli & Beef Stir Fry
Before you buy takeaway consider this easy Broccoli & Beef Stir Fry recipe to make at home! Whilst takeaway is convenient it’s also very expensive and loaded with nasties that we don’t realise are added during cooking. When you cook at home at least YOU KNOW what’s in it!! Always a good idea to have these staples on hand for when life throws you the unexpected and you feel the need to get take out! In this recipe I have used fresh ingredients however frozen will work just as well.
