Inspired by a recipe developed by Mexican chef, Federico López, this recipe has been simplified for cooking at home. The radishes can be prepared ahead and make a nice condiment for salads or other beef meals.

Ingredients

Spicy Roasted Tomato Sauce
plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and seeded, (about 2 lbs)
red onion, cut into wedges
cloves garlic
jalapeno pepper, stemmed, halved and coarsely chopped
vegetable oil
EACH salt and freshly ground pepper
finely grated lemon zest
lemon juice
maple syrup
red pepper flakes
minced fresh cilantro
Pickled Radishes
radishes, halved and thinly sliced
green onions, thinly sliced
apple cider vinegar
maple syrup
EACH red pepper flakes and mustard seeds
Beef Mixture
(750 g) Beef Rib-Eye Grilling Steaks, cut 1-inch think, cut into cubes
Coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil
large flour tortillas
avocados, thinly sliced
minced fresh cilantro
oranges, peeled, divided into segment and cut in half crosswise

Directions

Spicy Roasted Tomato Sauce:

On parchment-lined baking sheet, toss tomatoes with red onion, garlic, jalapeno, oil, salt and pepper. Arrange tomatoes cut side up. Roast in 425°F oven, turning once, until softened and charred, about 25 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
Transfer mixture to food processor. Add lemon zest and juice, maple syrup, 1/3 cup water, red pepper flakes and mustard seeds. Pulse until blended, about 2 minutes. Transfer to saucepan. Bring mixture to boil, reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 7 minutes. Stir in cilantro.

Pickled Radishes:

Place radishes and green onions in bowl.
Meanwhile in saucepan, whisk together vinegar, ¾ cup water, maple syrup, red pepper flakes, mustard seeds and salt. Bring mixture to boil. Pour over radishes, making sure to cover. Cool to room temperature.

Beef Mixture:

Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. In large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in batches, adding more oil, as needed, stirring until browned and pink in the center, about 8 minutes. Set aside until all beef is cooked. Return all beef to skillet. Stir in 1 cup of the Spicy Roasted Tomato Sauce.

To serve, warm each tortilla briefly in a hot fry pan; top with warm beef mixture, more tomato sauce, pickled radishes, avocado, cilantro and orange wedges. Roll up and eat.
