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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, orange juice, and olive oil. Whisk to create a citrus dressing.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the citrus dressing over the beef mixture and mix until everything is coated. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.

Step 6

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.
