Instructions

Before you start

  1. Tip: If you have time, let marinated beef sit covered in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours or overnight.
    Check the avocado is ripe before before you start.

Marinate beef

  1. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. Juice 1 lime. In a medium bowl add garlic, lime juice, ¼ cup pineapple juice, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 3 tbsp olive oil and 2 tsp cumin. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine then add 400 g beef rump steak and toss so the steak is well coated in the marinade.

Cook beef

  1. Heat the BBQ or a large frypan over high heat until smoking. Add the marinated steak to the pan and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside to rest for 4 minutes before thinly slicing the beef against the grain. Reserve the pan.

Cook veggies

  1. Slice 1 brown onion in half, then thinly slice. Thinly slice 1 capsicum. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the reserved pan. Add onion and capsicum, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until charred. Reserve the pan.

Prep filling

  1. Slice 2 tomato and 1 lime into wedges. Roughly chop 1 bunch coriander. Peel and deseed 1 avocado then mash it with a fork in a small bowl. Add a squeeze of lime juice and season with salt and pepper.

Warm tortillas

  1. Wipe the reserved pan clean and heat on high heat. Heat the tortillas in the pan for 1-2 minutes on each side, until lightly toasted.

To serve

  1. Divide the Tex Mex beef fajitas with warmed tortillas between plates. Serve with tomatoes, a smear of avocado, a dollop of sour cream and lime wedges on the side. Garnish with coriander.
