Preparation
Marinating the Zebu
Combine Marinade Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add Zebu to Marinade
Add the zebu cubes and coat them thoroughly with the marinade.
Refrigerate Zebu
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
For best results, marinate overnight to infuse maximum flavor; do not skip this step for optimal tenderness.
Preparing the Salsa
Combine Salsa Ingredients
In another bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, red onion, ginger, and cilantro.
Season the Salsa
Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Chill Salsa
Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
Cooking Process
Searing the Zebu
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the zebu cubes until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes.
Simmering the Zebu
Reduce heat to medium, add beef stock and tomato paste to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cover and let simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Finalizing the Salsa
Just before serving, give the salsa a final stir, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
