    Sunday - veggie, noodle & fry's steak style pieces stir-fry with HM sauce

    Hi miss_emmajane :) I don't think we have tried Fry's steak style pieces before. We like their chicken ones a lot though, they have a good texture and flavour. What are the steak ones like, just a darker more savoury version of the chicken pieces?
