I just picked up some beautiful beef strips from The Green Butcher, an organic, pasture fed and regenerative farm and wanted to do something quick and simple.
What better than every university student’s signature dish, a stir-fry.
The trick to a good stir-fry is to get some colour on the beef by cooking it on a high temperature for a short amount of time. And then by not overcooking the veggies.
I’ve added egg noodles to this dish because they’re insanely easy and tasty, but rice is the other go-to option.
I’m cooking with tallow rather than seed oils because it’s way healthier.
