Stir-Fried Ginger Beef

Sometimes quick and easy is all that is required to satisfy a grumbling tummy.  Behold the idiot-proof dinner from my recipe book Eat Yourself Beautiful.

You’ll be heaping this tasty dish onto your spoon or chopstick and cramming it into your mouth in just a very short space of time.

The sauce is thick and glossy with an authentic blend of flavours, the fresh, ginger, tahini and tamari give it a wonderfully nutty yet Asian inspired taste and the lemon and apple cider vinegar kick it up a notch with a gentle buzz on the taste buds.

I have included my favourite wonder spice turmeric to not only provide anti-inflammatory healing potency but also to delight your visual senses with a richly deep autumnal colour palate.

Use your intuition when creating this dish and add any leftover veg you may have in the fridge.

I hope you like it! Share your creations with me on instagram here.
