Stir-Fried Tender Green Beans with Beef Tenderloin

Why people make this dish

Green beans on their own make a lovely simple stir-fry, but pairing them with pre-marinated beef tenderloin turns the dish into a more satisfying meal. The result is a fresh, colourful combination that comes together in under half an hour.

Beyond the taste, there’s a good reason to include green beans in your summer meals. Traditionally, green beans are considered to have a mildly warm, sweet nature, associated with nourishing the spleen and stomach, clearing summer-heat and easing the dampness that the humid season brings. They work equally well stir-fried alone or with meat.
