dry-aged-beef-tacos

Dry aged beef tacos with cucumber and buckwheat is a light snack for birthdays and parties, and can be enriched by all manner of dips and sauces. Use spicy relish or aioli as dips, as well as good old-fashioned ketchup, curry sauce or mango sauce as the perfect companions for these crunchy tacos.

In the supermarket, you can buy taco shells to fill yourselves. If you can’t find any, you can use tortillas. Either in sizes that you can cut into portions yourself, or in the form of mini-tortillas.
