Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 2

Serves = 4
Beef tacos500g rump steak½ orange, juiced½ lemon or lime, juiced 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon olive oil1 teaspoon reduced-salt soy sauce1 can black beans,drain off liquid and rinse with water 12 mini soft tortillasSalsa3 ripe tomatoes, finely chopped½ small red onion, ends and papery skin removed, chop finely2 teaspoons red wine vinegar1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • In a bowl mix together the orange and lemon or lime juice, cumin and soy sauce.Add the steak and marinate overnight if you can. If you don't have that much time marinate it for as much time as you have. Pre-heat the BBQ on high heat - you want to cook the steak quickly on a very hot surface. To make the salsa, mix the chopped onion and vinegar. Let them sit while you cut the tomato. This will pickle the onions slightly. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Remove the steak from the marinade and dry on a paper towel. Cook the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked how you like it. Put the cooked steak on a plate and set aside while you heat the tortillas. Warm the tortillas according to the directions on the packet. If you are short on time though you can warm them in the microwave.Warm the black beans for 1 minute in the microwave.Slice the steak into thin strips.Serve the beef, salsa, beans and tortillas with your favourite hot sauce. Assemble the tortillas one by one as you eat them.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For soft beef tacos, you'll want to use a cut of beef that is tender and flavorful. Good options include flank steak, skirt steak, or chuck roast.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef before cooking helps to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and cumin, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
  • Cook the beef properly: The key to tender, juicy beef tacos is to cook the beef properly. Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is cooked to your desired doneness. If you overcook the beef, it will become tough and dry.
  • Make your own salsa: Homemade salsa is always better than store-bought salsa. It's easy to make and you can customize it to your own taste. There are many different recipes for salsa, so you're sure to find one that you love.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas make a big difference in the quality of your tacos. If you can, make your own tortillas or buy them fresh from a local tortilleria.
