15 Minute Beef & Broccoli Stir-fry



⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s Friday and rather than pop out to your local takeaway, why not throw this quick, Chinese inspired, healthy stir fry together ? Flavoured with Chinese Five Spice, ginger and garlic the smell wafting from the kitchen was gorgeous. If you have a wok then use it, if not you will need a large frying pan. I used bavette steak as it’s reasonably priced, but if you want to splash out a bit then sirloin or fillet would be lovely. Enjoy!
