Ingredients

  • 2 x 300g British thick-cut rump steaks
  • 1 tbsp Cholula Original Hot Sauce, plus extra to serve
  • 435g can or 430g pack refried beans
  • 8 Mexican soft taco wraps
  • ¼ Essential Iceberg Lettuce, finely shredded (about 100g)
  • 150g Essential Greek Feta, crumbled
  • ¼ x 25g pack fresh coriander, leaves picked, to serve (optional)

Method

  1. If cooking on a charcoal barbecue, prepare for direct cooking. If using a gas barbecue, preheat to 250ºC. Take the steaks out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking; put on a plate and season. If using a griddle, heat until smoking hot when ready to cook.

  2. Brush the steaks on each side with the hot sauce. Cook on the hot barbecue or griddle for 4 minutes on each side, turning them every 2 minutes to get plenty of char marks and ensuring all the cut surfaces are browned. Rest for 8 minutes.

  3. While the steaks are resting, heat the refried beans according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, wipe clean the pan or barbecue rack used to cook the steaks to get rid of excess juices. Heat the tacos until slightly crisping and charred (about 30 seconds on each side).

  4. To serve, spread 2 heaped spoonfuls of beans over each tostada and top with shredded lettuce. Finely slice the steaks and arrange on top, then scatter over the feta. Splash generously with hot sauce and scatter with coriander, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Leftover hot sauce is great for pepping up scrambled eggs. Alternatively, marble hot sauce through Greek yogurt as a dip for potato wedges, or stir into melted butter to spoon over steamed green vegetables.
