Quick Beef Stir Fry

This is a quick and easy stir-fry that’s perfect for lunch or dinner. It pairs especially well with a side of rice.

For our recipe, we have used Sparta Beef Strips provided to us by one of our partners, United Food Suppliers. These beef strips are already cut into thin, even pieces, making them especially convenient for stir-frying. They cook quickly while staying tender and juicy, allowing the flavours of the sauce and aromatics to coat the beef beautifully.

Serves: 2-3
