If you are vegetarian, you can swap the steak for 40-50g Quorn pieces.
Don’t Forget
Stir fry beef is a caution food and can be problematic for some. Ensure that you are confident with the 20,20,20,20 rule and have tried a variety of textured foods and more tender meat previously. If it causes any discomfort, remove and re-trail again in a few weeks.
