Inspired by our South East Asian neighbours and their fun & fragrant street food - we reckon the whole family is going to go totally nuts for these peanut beef tacos. And if they are peanut butter obsessed like us, just try stopping them from dipping, dunking and smothering their tacos in lots of the nutty goodness!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Flavour the beef
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium bowl, combine the honey, 1/2 the garlic and 2 tbs soy sauce. Add the beef strips and toss to coat. Set aside.

ADD FLAVOUR TO THE BEEF
2

Juice the lime. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, peanut butter, brown sugar, hot water, 1 tbs soy sauce and the remaining garlic. Add a drizzle of olive oil and mix well with a whisk or fork. TIP: Taste the peanut butter sauce and add more brown sugar if you like!

3

Cut the cucumber into 0.5cm batons. Finely shred the cos lettuce. Thinly slice the long red chilli (if using). Grate the carrot (unpeeled).

COOK THE BEEF
4

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Once hot, add 1/2 the beef and cook, tossing, for 1-2 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef strips.

HEAT THE TORTILLAS
5

Heat the mini flour tortillas in a sandwich press or on a plate in the microwave for 10 second bursts, or until warmed through.

SERVE UP
6

Bring everything to the table. Build your own tacos by adding some cos lettuce, cucumber and carrot and topping it with some beef strips. Spoon the peanut sauce over the tacos. Garnish the adults’ portions with crispy shallots and long red chilli (if using).
