Description
Korean BBQ Beef Tacos are a delicious fusion of Korean flavors and traditional taco elements, featuring marinated flank steak and fresh toppings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 small corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1/2 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and gochujang. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Add the sliced flank steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off.
- Add the steak to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- While the steak is cooking, warm the corn tortillas in a separate skillet or directly over a gas flame until pliable.
- To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked steak on each tortilla. Top with shredded cabbage, diced cucumbers, green onions, and cilantro.
- Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños on top of the tacos.
- To make it a complete meal, serve with a side of kimchi or a simple cucumber salad.
