Looking for a healthy meal which is jam-packed with flavour? Try Rachel Scouler's Mexican Beef Burrito bowl, a great lunch option or mid-week dinner.
Rachel, a popular Aussie dietician, said Australian beef was an easy way to get key nutrients into you and your family’s diet.
"It is rich with zinc and vitamin b12, which helps you feel full and energised throughout the day, and it’s one of the best sources of iron, which is particularly important for women and teenage girls.," she said.
"Australian dietary guidelines recommend three servings of lean meat per week, and you can easily add beef to a stir-fry, salad or pasta. Honestly, beef is great with everything!”
