Tasting Table

This taco recipe pairs Jamaican-inspired jerk beef with a mango filling, making this a particularly vibrant dish for those who enjoy bold and spicy flavors.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground paprika
½ teaspoon hot chili powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground bay leaves
2 thick-cut sirloin steaks, roughly 1.5 pounds
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 ripe mango, cubed
1 cup finely cubed fresh pineapple
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
½ red onion, finely chopped
⅓ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
1 red chili, finely chopped
Juice of 1 lime
12 soft or hard taco shells, to serve

Method

1
In a medium sized bowl, combine the brown sugar, allspice, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, ground paprika, hot chili powder, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and ground bay leaves to make a Jamaican jerk-style dry rub.
2
Pat the steaks dry with kitchen towel and then rub the cooking oil into them, before liberally coating them with the Jamaican jerk-style dry rub. Let them sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the cubed mango, pineapple, bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, red chili, and juice of 1 lime. Stir gently using a wooden spoon to mix.
4
Using a heavy-bottomed pan, heat to a medium-high temperature before adding the steaks to the pan. For 1 inch thick-cut steaks, cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side to cook medium-rare. Increase the cooking time for medium or well-done steaks.
5
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them sit and rest for 10 minutes, before thinly slicing with a sharp knife.
6
Serve the warm sliced steak in soft or hard taco shells, topped with a spoonful or two of the mango salsa.
