Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 300g lean beef strips (such as sirloin or flank steak), thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp plant-based butter
  • 3 tbsp honey (natural)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 6 soft flour tortillas
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (about 2 tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Slice the beef into thin strips for even cooking. Pat dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper to enhance flavor absorption.
  2. Make the BBQ Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the plant-based butter, honey (natural), minced garlic, smoked paprika, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of plant-based butter. Add the beef strips in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
  4. Glaze the Beef: Reduce heat to low, pour the BBQ glaze over the beef in the skillet, and stir constantly to coat all pieces evenly. Cook for about 2 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and infuses the meat.
  5. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm the flour tortillas in a dry pan or microwave until soft and flexible, ready for assembly.
  6. Assemble the Tacos: Place a generous portion of the glazed beef onto each tortilla. Top with thinly sliced red onion, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a fresh and bright finish.

Notes

  • Use thinly sliced sirloin or flank steak for best tenderness.
  • Cook the beef in batches to secure a good sear and prevent steaming.
  • Always use freshly minced garlic for the most robust flavor.
  • Warm tortillas properly to avoid tearing when folding.
  • Let the beef rest briefly after cooking to keep it juicy.
