April 2026 Dish of the Month Recipe

Beef, Black Bean and Vegetable Tacos

Ingredients: • 500g of diced beef, • 1 bunch of spring onions, • A selection of washed & prepped vegetables, • 1 diced red chilli, • 3 avocados, • 3 limes, • 100ml of light soy sauce, • 1 litre of good quality beef stock, • 2 tins of black beans, washed and rinsed, • 1 pack of tacos, • 1 bunch of coriander, • 15g of Chinese 5 spice, • 10g crispy onions

Method: 1. Slowly fry off your diced beef on a medium heat, adding some light seasoning of salt, pepper and the Chinese 5 spice in a medium sized pan. 2. Wash and prep your chosen vegetables and add them to the pan, ensuring it’s on a low heat and that they get a nice caramelisation. 3. Add the soy sauce, beef stock and beans and leave them to gently simmer. Cook until extremely soft on the stove or alternatively add to a small tray and transfer to the oven for 2/3 hours on a low heat, around 140 ° C, or in a slow cooker. 4. Cut the avocado in half and mash it in a mixing bowl with the juice of 1 lime. Add some finely diced coriander and fresh chilli. Season to taste. 5. Following the cooking instructions of the packaging, cook some rice and start to arrange your tacos. We choose to garnish ours with some crispy onions, more fresh limes, coriander and spring.
