Lamb Stir-Fry with Pomegranate and Coconut Yogurt

Lamb is a great way to break out of the usual beef-chicken-pork rut, especially when used in a quick-cooking but complex-tasting dish like this.

Chili Beef, Basil and Asparagus Stir-Fry

This stir-fry uses the strong flavors of chilies and the refreshing flavor of basil to create a nice contrast of tastes. Beef is a good choice of meat for such a strong-flavored stir-fry.
