    In the same pan add the marinated beef strips and cook until browned. Add a little more of the seasoning ingredients to the beef for extra flavour: black pepper, thyme, salt, all spice and a little more soy sauce to taste. Then add the fried vegetables and mix together.

    Add 250ml of beef broth/stock and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until tender, adding more broth if necessary to create a sauce.

    Lay out the tortilla wraps out on a clean surface, add the beef to the middle of the wrap along with some salsa sauce. Squeeze over some lemon juice and then fold away!
