Beef Taquitos Recipe

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 500g sirloin steak, chopped into 1cm cubes
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 3 tbsp tomato puree
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan, and gently fry the onion and garlic until softened. Chuck in the steak cubes, and fry for 2 minutes until browned all over.
  • Add the oregano, the cumin, the sugar, and the tomato puree. Season well, stir, and cook for a minute or so with the meat and onion. Pour in the stock, bring up to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened and glossy. Turn off the heat, and add the coriander.
  • To serve, fill the centre of each tortilla with the beef mix, and roll up like a big cigar - two tortillas per person should be enough. Add some lemon-dressed salad to the plate, and a salsa of your choice, and enjoy!
