Asian Style Beef and Broccolini Bowl

“Say yes to an easy dinner on the table in under 20 minutes.
Another family-friendly, high-protein mince dish to add to your dinner rotation.” — Liz

This stir-fry is quick, full of flavour, and made with pantry staples. Feel free to customise with whatever veggies you’ve got in the fridge. Oyster sauce gives it a savoury depth, but hoisin works beautifully too. Leftovers? Even better the next day.
