Black Pepper Beef Noodle Stir Fry

We had a ‘Lump of Rump’ Beef with which we made a slightly untraditional Beef Wellington on New Years Eve. I trimmed it into a suitable shape and the trimmings made the foundation for this dish.

1 Tbsp of Hendersons Relish
1 Tbsp of Shaoxing Wine

We garnished ours with sliced Chillies and Spring Onions. This might not be a traditional recipe but it was really tasty and a great way to use the Beef trimmings.
