Spicy, sweet, and bold flavors elevate this beef dish to new heights.
Ingredients:
  • 1.2kg beef chuck steak, cut into 10cm pieces
  • 2 brown onions, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 3.75 gm smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 500ml (2 cups) Mutti Tomato Passata
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) water
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped pickled jalapenos
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • Flour tortillas, warmed, to serve
  • Sliced avocado, to serve
  • Fresh coriander sprigs, to serve
  • Sour cream, to serve
  • Pickled jalapenos, extra, to serve
  • Salt, to season
Instructions:
  • Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over high heat. Sear half of the beef for 3 minutes on each side until golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the rest of the beef, ensuring to reheat the casserole dish between batches.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and sauté the onion for 10 minutes until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Combine cumin, paprika, and allspice in a bowl, then add to the onion mixture and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the passata, water, jalapeño, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is almost tender.
  • Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours until the liquid reduces and the beef becomes very tender. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring the beef to a chopping board and shredding it using a fork.
  • Enjoy the beef alongside warm tortillas, fluffy rice, creamy avocado, fresh coriander, a dollop of sour cream, and extra spicy jalapeños on the side.
