SIZZLING STEAK BURRITOS

Steps:

• Remove the steaks from the fridge and leave to come up to room temperature.
• Peel and finely chop the garlic, trim and roughly chop the lettuce, and grate the cheese.
• Heat a splash of olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add half the beans with a good splash of the liquid (save the rest for another day), plus the garlic, cumin and a good pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until thickened.
• Halve, deseed and finely chop the pepper with the cherry tomatoes and pop into a small bowl, squeeze in the lime juice, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and season well. Pick, finely chop and add the coriander leaves, then mix together.
• Preheat a griddle over a medium-high heat.
• Drizzle the steaks with oil, season with sea salt and black pepper and rub all over, then add to the griddle. Cook for about 1½ minutes on each side, then remove to a warm plate to rest.
• Mash the beans with a potato masher or fork, adding a splash of water to loosen if necessary, then spread onto the tortillas.
• Slice the steaks and divide evenly between them, top with grated cheese, lettuce and a spoonful of salsa. Wrap up and serve - simple!

TEX-MEX BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan until very hot, then brown the mince. Remove, then season with salt and pepper. Add the oil to the pan and fry the garlic, oregano and spices for 1 min until fragrant. Return the beef to the pan and toss well, then cook for 2-3 mins until hot through. Warm the taco shells following the pack instructions and serve with the beef.

NEXT LEVEL MINCED BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• First, make the spice mix. Toast the cumin seeds, coriander seeds and peppercorns in a small, dry frying pan, then tip into a spice grinder or use a pestle and mortar to crush to a rough powder. Add the remaining spice mix ingredients, except the cornflour, then grind again. Stir through the cornflour and a pinch of salt. The spice mix will keep in an airtight jar for up to one month.
• For the pickled onions, toss the onions with the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a medium glass bowl, then set aside to soften.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-low heat, and crumble in the mince. Cook for 15-20 mins. At first, it will release some liquid, but once that has bubbled away, the mince will sizzle in its own fat and start to brown and crisp. At this point, stir or toss the mince with a wooden spoon so it browns and caramelises all over. When the mince is well toasted, sprinkle over half the spice mix and continue to cook for 2 mins. Pour over the beef stock and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook gently for 10 mins until the beef has absorbed most of the stock, and is in a rich, thick gravy. Taste for seasoning.
• To assemble the tacos, toast the tortillas in a hot, dry frying pan, or over a flame until lightly blistered. Transfer to a serving plate and spoon the mince into a bowl, then serve the other ingredients in separate bowls, so everyone can assemble their own. Alternatively, spoon the mince into the tortillas, then top with the avocado, tomato, cheese (if using), pickled onions and crushed tortilla chips, if using. Serve the lime wedges on the side for squeezing over.

BEEF WITH SOY SAUCE AND GINGER

Steps:

• On a very hot griddle pan, cook your seasoned piece of sirloin steak until medium or to your liking. Place in a plate and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
• Now cook your greens in salted boiling water until tender.
• While hot, douse with a good couple of tablespoons of soy sauce, and sprinkle with the garlic, ginger, chilli, lime juice and olive oil.
• When the greens are cooked, simply divide onto two plates, thinly slice up the sirloin steaks, place on top of the greens and drizzle with any of the infused sauce left on the resting plate.

CARNE ASADA TACOS OR AL PASTOR TACOS

Steps:

• Place 1/2 chopped onion, 2 cloves garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, anise seed, black pepper, cumin, sage, thyme, bay leaves, cloves, soy sauce, vinegar, orange juice, and lime juice in a blender; pulse until a very well-blended paste is achieved, scraping down sides as needed, 3 to 5 minutes. Spread paste on both sides of the flank steak. Wrap steak in plastic and refrigerate at least 6 hours to overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove excess marinade from flank steak.
• Grill steak until it begins to firm and is hot and slightly pink in the center, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Chop steak into small pieces and transfer to a platter; cover and keep warm until ready to serve.
• Place 1 chopped onion, tomatoes, chipotle peppers, and 3 cloves garlic in a blend; pulse until desired consistency. Add water if the salsa becomes too thick. Transfer salsa to a bowl.
• Heat tortillas in a microwave safe plate until warm, about 1 minute.
• Serve beef over stacks of two corn tortillas with salsa and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 chopped onion, radishes, and cilantro.
