Healthy, because
Are you looking for a colourful wok dish? Then you have come to the right place! Optimally usable protein from beef fillet is important for muscle building and maintenance, as is the blood-forming iron. Broccoli contains immune-strengthening vitamin C, which perfectly guards against impending colds. Meanwhile, B vitamins from the mushrooms ensure strong nerves and a good memory.
Even smarter
This delicious wok dish can also be enjoyed vegan in no time at all: All you have to do is replace the fillet of beef with a vegan variant such as tofu. This should at best be marinated a few minutes beforehand as desired; how about a marinade of soy sauce, mustard and fresh chilli?
