A week of go to dinners

THURSDAY

Easy Beef and Pepper Stir Fry

I love a good take away dinner, but if I'm being honest, my thighs are starting to loathe me for it! What better on a Thursday night than this quick and easy stir fry with only a fraction of the calories! (Ok so technically I don't know how many are actually in it - but its definitely got to be better for me than what I would really love right now!) 

Serves: 2

Prep: 10 mins

Cook: 20 mins

Ingredients

1 Red Pepper

1 Yellow Pepper

1\2 Onion

325g Stir Fry Beef

1 Tsp minced garlic

1 Tsp Easy Ginger (or minced ginger)

2/3 Cup Soy Sauce

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

2 Tbsp Cornflour

2 Nests Dry Egg Noodles

Method

1. Slice peppers and onions into thin strips. Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan or wok and when hot, add peppers and onions. Fry until soft and then remove from the pan.

2. Heat another glug of oil in the pan and add the beef pieces. Fry until cooked through. Add ginger and garlic, stir and cook for about a minute.

3. Next, add peppers and onions back into the pan and continue to cook.

4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, sugar and cornflour. (Add more soy sauce if too thick)

5. Pop egg noodles in a pan and cook per packet instructions.

6. Pour sauce over the beef and veggies and stir. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes - make sure the sauce coats everything evenly.

7. Drain noodles and add a splash or two of soy sauce.

8. Time to plate up!
