Notes
You could save approximately 100 calories on this recipe by switching out coconut oil and using spray oil instead.
Swap beef for king prawns or chicken breast to lower calories. You need around 100 g of chicken or prawns per person. Save 120 calories per portion swapping from beef to prawns, and 60 calories per portion swapping from beef to chicken.
Even more calorie savings could be made by serving over cauliflower rice.
