Beef style strips in tomato and basil sauce

Fry's beef-style strips are great if you fry them in a little bit of olive oil for around 6 to 8 minutes and then add to your favorite stir-fry. In this recipe I decide to make them in a basil and tomato sauce, served with white rice and some raw radishes.


Serves 2:
Fry's beef-style strips (200g)
Olive oil (1 tbsp) 
Tomatoes (3 - ripe, cubed)
Basil (4 leaves)
Onion (1 small - minced)
Garlic (1 clove - minced)
Pepper

1) In a nonstick skillet, over medium heat, add the strips, olive oil, garlic and onion and cook for 5 minutes.

2) Add the tomato and the basil and cook for another 2 minutes. Season to taste with a bit of pepper and serve.
