Easy Beef Cabbage Stir Fry

September 6, 2021 | 30 Minute Meals, Budget Friendly, Red meat, Vegetarian

This Easy Beef Cabbage Stir Fry is a really quick and easy budget friendly stir fry and another favourite way to use beef mince!

This Easy Beef Cabbage Stir Fry is a really quick and easy budget-friendly stir fry and another favourite way to use beef mince aside from bolognese. There are more vegetables in this stirfry than meat in this recipe, making it a great choice to boost your vegetable intake for the day. Flavoured with a salty, sweet and acidic sauce, this will be a classic stir fry for the whole family to enjoy.

Of course, if you don’t have the listed vegetables, feel free to switch in other vegetables like bok choy and bean sprouts that you enjoy in a stir fry.

Take a look at the variations (below the main recipe) for suggestions to alter the recipe to suit your specific dietary goals.

    This smelled amazing whilst cooking and did not disappoint. Hubby and I loved it. Mr 10 liked it better than most stir fries, Miss 6 struggled with how to eat it, so just used her fingers! It was really simple to put together.

    Hi Georgia
    This is a new favourite and quick stir fry in our house. My 16 year old said “Mum that was really good!” She’s usually pretty fussy!
    I thought it was delicious! Xx
