Here’s an interesting foodie fact for you, Chef. Traditionally, Mexican barbacoa is a meat dish steamed in an underground oven. You’ll enjoy the same aromatic flavours using modern cooking techniques for the juicy seared steak, coated in a rich beef stock, orange juice, tangy tomato, black bean & corn sauce. Served with bulgur wheat and dollops of sour cream.

BEGIN THE BARBACOA
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the cooked chopped tomato, the NOMU rub, the orange juice, the beef stock, and 50ml of water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 5-8 minutes. Add a splash of water if the sauce reduces too quickly. In the final 2-3 minutes, add the drained beans and the corn. Remove from the heat and season.

Place a clean 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.
