Beef Stir Fry Cooked and Served

Beef Stir Fry is a meal that can be prepared and cooked in under half an hour and it all looks so professional. Trim the beef of fat and you have a very healthy meal.

Stir frying as a technique came into being when the wok was perfected in China in the mid 1300s. Originally, a stone stove (with a hole in the top where the wok could be placed) was heated to a high temperature to heat the wok. Oil and various other ingredients were placed in the wok and quickly cooked.

This retains the colour of the ingredients and seals in moisture, it also helps the ingredients retain their natural taste and nutritional value.
