We recently ran a competition where we asked our lovely Facebook community to submit their favourite all ALDI beef recipes. We had so many fabulous recipes submitted it was difficult to choose our favourite 3. I tried to mix up the winning recipes with a stir-fry, a casserole and some mince and chose the tastiest ones submitted.
Thanks everyone who took the time to enter their recipes, there were some great ideas. I personally cooked and ate all 3 recipes with my family which were a hit. I have shared them with you below so you can give them a go if they take your fancy!

Beef and Singapore Noodle Stir Fry
Total Meal Cost = $12.60 – per serve $3.15
Ingredients
- 400g of ALDI Highland Park Beef Stir Fry
- 1 pack Asia Specialties Singapore Noodles
- 2 tbsp Asia Specialties Chilli & Garlic Sauce
- 1 tbsp Asia Specialties Oyster Sauce
- 2 tsp of Stonemill Minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Asia Specialties Soy Sauce
- 1 tsp White Mill Cornflour
- 1 Brown Onion Diced
- 1 Medium Broccoli cut into Florets
- A Handful of Snow Peas
Instructions
- Combine sauces, 2 tablespoons of water & cornflour and stir until there are no lumps (a whisk can make that a lot easier) – set aside
- Cook the beef strips in two batches in a large electric fry pan (so the meat browns nicely) and then remove from heat but keep warm (I just put it in a container with the lid on)
- Fry off onion and garlic until onion is cooked through
- Add in broccoli & snow peas along with about ¼ cup water – I will usually pop the lid on at this stage to help the veggies steam and cook through
Once veggies have softened, add the beef back in.- Add in the sauces and stir through allowing it to thicken (this usually takes a couple minutes over medium heat)
- Prepare Singapore noodles according to pack, then add and stir through beef & veg mix & it’s ready to serve
