Ingredients

  • Beef (flank steak) - 300 grams
  • Guava paste - 100 grams
  • Chicken broth (Halal) - 200 ml
  • Onion - 1 medium, chopped
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
  • Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Salt - to taste
  • Black pepper - to taste
  • Corn tortillas - 4 small
  • Fresh cilantro - for garnish
  • Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

  1. In a medium bowl, season the flank steak with salt, black pepper, and cumin powder. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the marinated beef to the skillet and sear on all sides until browned, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the guava paste. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Cover the skillet and let it cook on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the beef is tender and fully cooked.
  6. Once cooked, remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
  7. In the same skillet, reduce the sauce for about 5 minutes on medium-high heat until slightly thickened.
  8. Warm the corn tortillas in a separate pan or microwave, then assemble the tacos by placing strips of beef on each tortilla.
  9. Drizzle the reduced guava sauce over the beef, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
