Boston Beef Tacos

Boston Beef Tacos

A bit of a cheat (and cheap) Boston Beef Tacos recipe.  I’m a sucker for the slow cooker. I’m out for 12 hours a day Monday to Friday, give or take 30 minutes or so, so my slow cooker is an absolute saviour. Most of the time by the time I get home, I really can’t be bothered to cook. There’s so many things you can do with a slow cooker that most people don’t even realise, and here’s one way you can use it to create easy meals with minimal effort. I also find a lot of the cuts of meat which work well in the slow cooker are really cheap because they take a long time to cook.

This Boston Beef Tacos recipe costs around £2 per head making it a great sharer for a dinner party or family meal.

Ingredients

• 500 g beef joint braising steak, silverside, whichever is on offer
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 large onion
• 1 large avocado
• 3 tbsp Greek Yoghurt
• 50 g soft cheese
• 3 cloves garlic
• 12 tacos
• salt and pepper

Servings: people

Units:MetricUS Imperial

Instructions

1. Set your slow cooker on a low setting. Place your joint and the olive oil in the slow cooker and cook for approximately 4 hours.
2. Once that's cooked, (I usually set the plug timer to come on 4 hours before I will be getting back to the house), take it out the slow cooker and slice it down to strips. In a frying pan, add a touch of oil and turn to a low heat.
3. Thinly slice your onion, crush the garlic and add soft cheese all to the pan. After 10 minutes or so on a low heat, add your beef. Stir until it's all covered in some cheese and the onion has cooked.
4. Turn off the heat and stir through the greek yoghurt. Serve the beef in tacos with a side of rice or salad if feeding more people. Add salt and pepper to taste and top with chunks of avocado.
5. If you're feeling really cheeky, add a tbsp of brandy to the beef when you add it to the frying pan, but be careful as you do this as it could flame as the alcohol burns.
