TIPS

Here are some tips for the preparation of Garlic Butter Beef and Spinach Stir-Fry:

  • Use High-Quality Beef: Lean beef works best, but marbled cuts add extra tenderness and richness.
  • Don’t Overcook The Beef: Stir-fry quickly over high heat to keep the meat juicy and tender.
  • Enhance The Garlic Flavour: Let the garlic cook just until fragrant to avoid bitterness.
  • For Extra Richness: Add a small pat of butter at the end of cooking for a deeper, more indulgent flavour.
  • Prevent Spinach From Overcooking: Remove it from the heat as soon as it wilts to maintain its bright green colour.

VARIATIONS

  • Vegetarian Alternative: Replace beef with mushrooms or firm tofu for a plant-based version.
  • Different Greens: Swap spinach for kale, Swiss chard or bok choy for a varied texture and flavour.
  • Extra Vegetables: Add sliced bell peppers, onions or mushrooms for a more nutrient-dense dish.
  • Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for some heat.
  • Low-Sodium Option: Use reduced-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a healthier alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan over medium flame for the best texture.
  • Freezing: Cooked beef can be frozen separately for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Meal Prep: Pre-slice the beef and store it in an airtight container for quicker cooking during the week.
