Jamaican-style Bully beef with fried plantain
One of my favourite dishes growing up was bully beef. When I moved into my own place it was one of the first dishes I learned to make as its nice and easy to cook and it shows you can still pack in flavour and have a satisfying meal on a budget! - Recipe nominated by Stephanie via the Sainsbury’s I AM ME colleague network.
