- Stir fry strips or other thinly sliced steak

- Noodles
- Soy sauce
- Lemon or lime
- Oil, preferably vegetable or groundnut
- Salt and pepper
Method
I was lucky enough to strike up a conversation with the lady from Challow Hill Meats and she told me the story of her stir fry strips. She explained to me that when cutting the sirloin and the fillet off she was left with all these bits of meat. They used to go into the meat for stewing etc. Then she put them up for sale as I buy them now and I couldn’t be more pleased. The perfect amount of meat, of excellent quality and cut, ready sliced and for £1.84. Who can moan about that?
To make the most of these little bits of loveliness I let them marinate in salt, pepper and soya sauce while I cut up all my vegetables.
I get the pan to smoking point as I find this adds another depth of flavour. Put the onions in and let them caramelise a little. Then put in all the meat and juices, the ginger and the garlic. At this point put the noodles into the water that one has dutifully begun to boil a few minutes before.
Fantastic! I can almost smell the fantastic flavors.
We have been craving beef and this looks lie a great “kitchen sink” recipe!
Don’t you just love stir-fries? They are such a great way to make a quick, healthy, and delicious dinner. What a great find with those stir-fry strips. They sound perfect for a meal like this. Thank you for sharing!
Good for you for using up all of the odds and ends in your fridge before starting the new week. Your stir fry is so pretty with all of the colors.
I always use up all the vegies in the crisper at the end of the week – I hate to waste them. Nice addition of baby spinach too, love the stuff!
What a great way to use up veggies from the Farmer’s Market!
Last night I did the honorary “gotta-cook-it-up-before-it-goes-bad-meal” Roasted Broccoli and Chick peas on couscous. Love to hear how others clear out the fridge in an attempt to clear out space for more culinary lovlies!
Thank you for the comments! I think that sometimes when you rustle up a meal like this they can be some of the best.
very simple and straight forward….
