Indulge in a delicious Mexican fiesta with tender shredded beef on warm tortillas, topped with zesty homemade salsa, creamy avocado, and a squeeze of fresh lime.
Ingredients:
  • 1.2kg Beef bolar blade, trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 35g plain flour
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 3 oregano sprigs
  • 20.00 ml ground coriander
  • 10.00 gm smoked paprika
  • 70g tomato paste
  • 60ml red wine vinegar
  • 500ml beef stock
  • 1 avocado, mashed
  • Tortillas, to serve
  • Lime wedges, to serve
  • 200g Perino tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 82.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 21.00 gm lime juice
Instructions:
  • Coat beef in flour and shake off excess. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear the beef for 5 minutes until browned all over. Transfer to a heatproof bowl.
  • Heat the remaining oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Sauté for 5 minutes until the onion softens. Then add the oregano, coriander, and paprika. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and mix well. Pour in the vinegar, beef stock, and 2 cups (500ml) water. Bring to a simmer. Enjoy the aroma!
  • Place beef back in the pan. Simmer over medium-low heat, covered, flipping the beef once, for 2 hours or until tender. Transfer to a plate and shred coarsely using two forks.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the tomato, onion, coriander, and lime juice to create the tomato salsa.
  • Distribute avocado evenly on tortillas. Add shredded beef and salsa on top. Accompany with lime wedges for serving.
