January 2020

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.
