NRL STAR'S GRILLED BEEF AND PUMPKIN WRAP FOR A QUICK MID-WEEK MEAL

NRL star Ali Brigginshaw has created a delicious grilled beef and pumpkin wrap dish, which is great for a quick mid-week meal the family are sure to love.

“Quick, tasty and crammed with nutrients, these wraps are a great way to add beef into midweek meals, and to get kids involved in meal prep by encouraging them to build their own wraps," she said.

“As a professional rugby league player I’m training six days a week, so after a tough session I like to make sure my meals are high in protein, carbs and veggies.

"Aussie beef is great for my active lifestyle as it keeps me energised and helps build muscle development, so I try to weave it into my meals three or four times a week. Plus, it’s delicious, so it’s always a winner with the kids.”
