Cooking Steps

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook beef strips, in batches, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Transfer beef to a plate. Season with salt and pepper, then cover to keep warm.

TIP: Cooking the beef in batches over a high heat helps it stay tender.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook Asian stir fry mix, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add lemon pepper seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat.
