Make beef your choice
Beef is a versatile meat that can be used in a wide range of cooking styles and is tasty and nutritious too.
It’s a fantastic source of protein as well as other nutrients such as vitamin B12, essential for your blood, brain and nervous system, and the mineral zinc, important for many roles in the human body, including healing wounds and supporting your immune system.
Up your game with grass-fed beef
Source your beef from Provenir and know that you are choosing the best and most nutritious meat.
The term “grass-fed” means that the animals it derives from have led a low-stress life, as close to their natural state as possible.
Grazing naturally as they would in the wild means that their diet is exclusively grass, the best source of nutrition for them.
In comparison, grain-fed beef comes from intensively reared animals that are brought up in confined spaces.
This means they will routinely be given antibiotics to keep disease at bay, as well as hormones for rapid growth.
Know that Provenir beef is exclusively grass-fed and it’s free from added antibiotics and hormones — they’re simply not necessary when our animals are living a free and healthy life.
It’s also worth knowing that we use mobile abattoirs that travel to farms to ensure that animals experience as little stress as possible — right up to the end of their lives.
This means our meat is ethically produced. We’re also reducing the distance from paddock to plate to support sustainable farming.

Time
- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 15 min
- Ready in: 25 min
Ingredients
- 400g Rump steak (fat trimmed, thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoon Neutral oil (divided)
- 2 tablespoon Soy sauce (divided)
- ½ teaspoon Sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon Chilli flakes (, optional)
- ¼ teaspoon White or black pepper
- 2 Carrots (sliced)
- 1 large Red capsicum
- 1 head Broccoli (cut into small florets)
- 100 grams Baby corn (sliced into rounds)
- 3 Spring onions (thickly sliced)
- ½ cup Frozen peas
- 2 cups Steamed rice (cooled)

Instructions
- Combine sliced steak and 1 tbsp of the soy sauce in a bowl. In a jug, whisk together sesame oil, chilli flakes, pepper, and remaining 1 tbsp soy sauce – set aside.
- Preheat a wok or heavy-based pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle in 1 tbsp oil, and add carrots and capsicum, cook 2 – 3 mins. Add broccoli and baby corn and cook a further 3 – 5 mins until veggies are tender-crisp and broccoli is bright green. Transfer veg to a bowl, wipe pan, and return to heat.
- Add 2 tsp oil to the pan. When oil is smoking, add beef strips in a single layer and leave for 30 sec until golden on one side. Flip beef and move to the side of the pan.
- Add further 1 tbsp oil to the empty side of the pan. Add rice and spring onions, stir once, and spread into an even layer. Let cook 30 sec, then stir for a minute or two until rice is heated through.
- Add peas to the pan, along with the cooked veggies and any liquid, and stir to combine with beef and rice. Pour over the soy / sesame sauce and cook for 1 min.
- Push fried rice to the sides of the pan and drizzle remaining 2 tsp oil into the centre. Add beaten egg and allow to cook for 30 sec. Scramble, moving cooked egg to the centre and uncooked egg to the edge, breaking into small pieces as you stir. When egg is nearly set, toss to incorporate into the fried rice.
- Season to taste, if necessary, and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve hot.
Notes
TIPS
- Have all ingredients ready to go before you start cooking – fried rice is a quick dish!
- Leftover chilled rice is perfect for this recipe, however you can make fresh steamed rice, spread it on a plate or tray, and pop in the fridge to cool quickly.
- Fresh vegetables can be replaced with 800 g frozen stir fry veg. Skip Step 2, add frozen veg with peas in Step 4, and cook until warmed through.

Notes
TIPS
- Vietnamese dressings are readily available at supermarkets and Asian grocers. Alternatively use a Thai-style dressing, sweet chilli sauce or your own spicy dressing.
- When stir-frying beef wait at least 30 seconds before tossing – gives beef a chance to brown, giving it good colour and flavour. Second side will take a little less time to cook. When returning beef to the wok, careful it doesn’t boil in the liquid or it will toughen. Stir-fry only to combine and warm through.
- Buy beef strips ready to go from our online butcher store or slice your own at home.
