Description

Delicious fusion tacos filled with marinated beef bulgogi and topped with a fresh, tangy kimchi slaw.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound beef (sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups napa cabbage, shredded
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • 1/2 cup radish (daikon or regular), julienned
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Slice your beef thinly against the grain and coat it with this marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes—an hour or longer if you can for deeper flavor.
  2. Prepare the Quick Kimchi Slaw: While the beef is marinating, combine shredded napa cabbage, carrots, and radish in a bowl. Drizzle with rice vinegar, and sprinkle with a touch of sugar and salt. Toss it all together, letting it sit for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds just before serving.
  3. Cook the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef. Stir-fry until it’s just cooked through—this will take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Heat the tortillas on a dry skillet for about a minute on each side until pliable.
  5. Assemble Your Tacos: Place a generous portion of the cooked beef on each tortilla, top it with the quick kimchi slaw, and add any additional toppings you desire.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Share your tacos with family and friends or enjoy them on your own.

Notes

Feel free to substitute beef with chicken or tofu for a lighter option. Add toppings like avocado or cilantro for extra flavor.
