Meat mains
Venison stir-fry
This success of this recipe lies in the quick, Asian-style marinade. Chop up the rest of your veg while the meat soaks up the gingery spice and salty soy sauce, then sizzle everything together for a flavourful and easy dinner. Serve over rice or noodles, with a generous topping of fresh coriander, toasted nuts and lime juice.
