Directions
INGREDIENTS
- 3 x 227g Dunnes Stores Extra Matured Irish Beef Rib Eye Steak
- 2 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lime, zest and juice
- 2 tsp Dunnes Stores Ground Cumin
- ½ tsp Dunnes Stores Chilli Flakes
- Salt and pepper
- Large handful fresh coriander
For the Tomato Salsa:
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 red onion, very finely chopped
- 250g Dunnes Stores Tomatoes, diced
- ½ lime, juiced
- Small handful of coriander leaves
For the Taco Shop Guacamole:

METHOD
- Make the guacamole: In a food processor, blitz the chilli, coriander leaves, garlic and spring onions until as smooth as possible. Add the avocado and lime juice and blitz until super smooth. Season to taste.
- In a dish, mix the garlic, oil, lime juice and zest, spices and salt and pepper. Finely chop half the coriander and stir into the dish, then season well. Add the steaks to the marinade and leave while you make the salsa, turning occasionally.
- To make the salsa, mix the red onion with the tomatoes, lime juice and coriander leaves in a small bowl. Add some sea salt and set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan over a high heat until smoking. Remove the steaks from the marinade and sear for 1–2 minutes each side until charred but still rare inside. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
- Slice the steak and serve in the warm tortillas with the tomato and red onion salsa and the taco shop guacamole.
