Our favourite cut for pulled beef is oyster blade with it's rich flavour and high level of collagen that when fully rendered turns into that delicious sticky, sweet gelatin. Salt and pepper are the obvious flavour boosters and for beef another one is coffee. They really work wonders together and you can find these ingredients in Fierce Bull along with brown sugar, paprika and the earthy flavours of ground garlic, onion and cumin.
Fresh, home made guacamole is the only way to go and like the pico de gallo is quick and easy to make. There's no secrets to the spicy sour cream, just a blend of sour cream and taco seasoning. Optional extras are cheese (jack or red cheddar), sliced jalapenos and thinly sliced spring onions. When garnishing with coriander be sure to use stems and leaves as the stems actually punch a stronger flavour.
Take it easy on the onion. Raw onions are found in the guacamole and pico de gallo and being raw they can become overpowering and leave a pungent taste in your mouth. White onions aren't as strong as brown or red so if you're not a huge raw onion fan stick to the white variety.
