This is a great way to prepare green vegetables. The stir-frying helps keep their crunch, while the hot sauce gives them a rich, almost nutty flavour. Choose from any of the wide range of greens now readily available, such as sugar snap peas, French beans, mangetout, spinach, Swiss chard, Chinese pak choi, choi sum; or even finely shredded cabbage works well.
This is a great dish for all the family to enjoy and is perfect put in the centre of the table, so everyone can dig in. The beef can be marinated well in advance leaving very little to do at the last minute.
Anything with corn or soft flour tortillas seems to be popular with children – and these beef enchiladas are packed with loads of flavour and fun! They also leave very little washing up, which is always a bonus!

This recipe uses topside – a good value cut, which isn’t as popular as it should be. It’s a dish that takes some time but the slow cooking is well worth it! The beef takes on heaps of flavour and becomes very, very tender….mmmmm!
