Grass-Fed Beef, Asparagus & Ginger Stir-Fry

"This high-protein, fibre-rich stir fry is a balanced and nutritious meal delivering over 30g of quality protein per serving. British asparagus is one of the great food highlights of the year and works beautifully here, its delicate flavour holding its own in the wok without being lost. It is also a source of prebiotic fibre called inulin, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria, supports digestive health and helps reduce inflammation. Spinach brings folate, vitamin K and vitamin C to support immunity, bone health and cellular repair, while grass-fed beef offers a higher omega-3 profile than its grain-fed equivalent alongside essential micronutrients including iron and zinc, both important for hormonal health," says nutritional therapist Alexa Mullane.
