This meal is my idea of heaven… was so packed with zing and flavour… the Bavette steak is marinated in lime juice, orange juice, loads of garlic (coz you know I love it), fresh jalapeños, vinegar and ground spices like coriander, cumin, pepper, and chilli powder.

The zingy Mexican salsa is so easy and blitzed in the food processor. The guac and sour cream give that creaminess, and I added some delicious caramelized onions to accompany it all. Seriously lip-smacking good!!

I made the caramelized onions by sweating some sliced onions down with some oil in a saucepan with a pinch of salt for 30 minutes on low heat, often stirring until soft and golden. Then add 2 tbsps of brown sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar and cooked them for a further 5 minutes or so until everything dissolved and was beautifully sticky and sweet.

STEAK AND MARINADE

600g Onglet or Bavette steak

120ml Oil – I used Avocado

120ml White vinegar

120ml Lime juice

120ml Orange juice

4 tsp Garlic minced

5 tbsps Jalapeño chopped fine

Small Handful fresh coriander chopped

3 tsp Salt

1½ tsp Coriander ground

1 tsp Cumin ground

1½ tsp Black pepper

1½ tsp Chilli powder

MEXICAN SALSA

3-4 Chipotle Chillis in adobo sauce – I used @lacostenauk

3 Spring onions

4 Garlic cloves

4 large tomatoes chopped

1 small red onion

1 small bunch of coriander chopped

Juice 1 lime

Splash of olive oil

Salt & Pepper

GUACAMOLE

2 Avocados cut into small squares

1 Tomato deseeded and diced small

2 Spring onions chopped fine

Handful coriander chopped

1 Chilli chopped fine

1 Lime juiced

Salt & Pepper

TO SERVE: Corn tortillas, Sour cream, lime wedges

Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients

Marinate the steaks with 2/3 of the marinade for 2 hours

For the guacamole, mix all ingredients in a bowl, taste and adjust seasoning to your liking, set aside

Blitz salsa ingredients in a food processor, taste and adjust seasoning to your liking, set aside

Put the remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes; it will thicken as it cooks, turn off the heat, and set aside

Heat the BBQ to a temperature of 280℃ or heat a grill pan until very hot

Place the steaks on the grill and cook until charred well on one side, flip and cook for another few minutes; the total time would be about 12-15 minutes depending on how you like your steak cooked, set aside to rest

Heat the tortillas on the grill until softened and starting to brown; you can wrap them in foil to stay warm as you finish each one

Slice the steaks AGAINST the grain into small thin strips

Place the steak into a bowl and add the cooked marinade; mix well

Dish up the tortillas with sour cream, guacamole, Mexican salsa, steak pieces, and caramelized onions

Alternatively, serve buffet-style for everyone to make their own tacos

Serve immediately, and enjoy!
