Notes
- When eating beef I always opt for high quality grass fed beef sources
- This dish could be just as nice with cooked lentils or cooked mushrooms or check out my rice balls as a plant based option.
- I prefer to use stock instead of water when making sauces for extra flavour, but you can also use extra seasoning ie fresh herbs, salt to create more flavour if you dont have stock. My stock is always leftover from steaming vegetables.
- This dish matches well with pasta or steamed basmati rice
