Mexican Beef Recipes

Mexican cooking is layered and vibrant — toasted chillies and charred aromatics built into salsas and slow-cooked dishes of real depth. When Mexican cooks work with beef, they reach for dried chillies, cumin, lime, coriander, garlic and tomatillos, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, braising, searing and frying.

A rich, deeply savoury red meat that rewards both fast, hot searing and long, slow braising depending on the cut. In this collection it's most often cooked with garlic, onion, white onion, ground cumin, smoked paprika and bay leaves. The dishes here span mexican classics ready in as little as 17 minutes to slower, more involved cooking that rewards a relaxed afternoon.
