Barbacoa-style Beef & Rice
with piquanté peppers & sour cream
Barbacoa means ‘barbeque’ in Spanish, but it’s not as straightforward as that, Chef! Imagine the best braised beef you’ve tasted – with a Mexican barbeque flavour twist. Our recipe replaces tacos with a bed of fluffy jasmine rice. The beef is cooked in a beautiful blend of orange juice, a special UCOOK spice blend, tomato passata, a rich beef stock & garlic, which is soaked up by sweet corn & black beans.

RICE
Place the rice in a pot with 200ml [400ml]|#7DA0D7 of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.
Beef
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the steak dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the steak fat-side down until crispy, 3-5 minutes. Flip the steak and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final minute, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
SAUCE
Return the pan to medium heat with all the pan juices. Fry the spring onion, Corn, garlic, and spice blend until fragrant, 3-4 minutes. Mix in the tomato passata, orange juice, Beef stock and 100ml [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of water. Simmer until thickening, 6-8 minutes. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the beans and continue to simmer until warmed through. Remove from the heat and season.
DINNER IS READY
Make a bed of the rice, top with the Beef, barbacoa-style sauce, and dollops of sour cream. Garnish with a scatter of the peppers and enjoy, Chef!
