Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef brisket or flank steak
- 8 cups Water
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 2 pieces Bay leaves
- 0.5 pieces White onion, sliced thinly
- 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Orange juice
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 4 pieces Radishes, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 cup Pickled red onions (optional)
- 1 piece Habanero chili, finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 piece Avocado, sliced (for serving)
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large pot, add the beef brisket or flank steak, water, salt, bay leaves, and the half white onion. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 90 minutes or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.
Once cooked, remove the beef from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the beef using two forks or your hands, and set it aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, and olive oil. Whisk to create a citrus dressing.
Add the chopped red onion, diced tomato, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro, and optional pickled red onions and habanero chili to the shredded beef. Toss gently to combine.
Pour the citrus dressing over the beef mixture and mix until everything is coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Serve the Dzik with sliced avocado on the side and warm corn tortillas, if desired. Enjoy this Yucatecan delight as a light meal or appetizer.
