Description
A delightful fusion dish combining bold Korean barbecue flavors with the beloved taco format, topped with tangy quick kimchi.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef (bulgogi or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 8 small corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1/2 cucumber, julienned
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and sugar to create a marinade. Add the beef to the marinade, ensuring it’s well-coated. Cover and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- While the beef marinates, prepare the quick kimchi. In a separate bowl, combine cabbage, carrot, cucumber, green onions, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, and a pinch of salt. Toss the ingredients well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it’s cooked through and caramelized. The beef should be juicy and tender.
- Warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until they are soft and pliable. To assemble the tacos, place a generous portion of cooked beef on each tortilla and top it with the flavorful quick kimchi. Serve these delicious tacos immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For deeper flavor, marinate the beef for up to 2 hours or overnight. Adjust the spice levels by reducing the gochujang or adding honey, and consider adding avocado for creaminess.
