#RecipeWithAPulseliveTwist: The Pulse 10-minute, no-stress Beef Brawn Sandwich

Buttered bread for breakfast can quickly get extremely boring especially now that life is slowly returning to normal after Coronavirus lock downs are being lifted.

Sandwiches help to kill that "bready boredom" and what's more, a sandwich is also perfect for a quick lunch.

This week Pulselive made an attempt at beating the clock in making a simple, easy-to-eat and delicious sandwich and we succeeded!

Onions are a delicious vegetable but they have a very powerful and unmistakable flavour which discourages most of us from having them uncooked.

Our Beef Brawn sandwich does not require you to cook any of the ingredients but it will also include onions.
