    Cook the bavette over direct heat until it reaches medium-rare doneness. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.

    Wagyu beef burrito with spiced tomato, avocado & sour cream by Matt Burgess

    This is our recipe for National Burrito Day (not that we need an excuse to make a burrito!)

    You don't need to use wagyu beef of course, our house beef is pretty darn special too, but if you did want to use wagyu, you won't regret it!

    The recipe includes a spiced tomatoes mix with red onion, coriander, jalapeño, cumin seeds and lime as well as a guacamole. Add all three elements to a tortilla, wrap and dunk in some sour cream for a flavour fiesta.

    Enjoy!
