Rainbow Beef Stir-Fry

The colours alone could knock this one out of the park, but the sweet, savoury and somewhat exotic flavours carry it the extra mile. This is a fantastic dish for any occasion, any time of year.

Cook for 15 minutes or until all liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat, mix in peas, cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in medium nonstick skillet cook ground beef over medium-high heat for 8 minutes, breaking the beef apart with the back of a wooden spoon. Mix in frozen vegetables and cook for 2 minutes.
