hen I would eat Chinese takeaways a beef stir fry would normally be at the top of my list. The beef in this sort of stir fry would always be steak or a meat that was similar. Never have I ever seen a mince beef stir fry on a takeaway menu. My husband Howard isn’t a big steak fan so I decided to make a stir fry with mince beef. The result of this experiment were so good I really had to share the recipe with you. Below is a video and recipe for you.
