Yields: 4 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes (plus marinating time)

Cook time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• For the Marinade:
  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye, bulgogi, or flank steak work well)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
• For the Tacos:
  • 12 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Optional toppings: Sriracha mayo, sesame seeds, chopped green onions

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients. Add the beef and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
2. Cook the Beef: Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Be careful not to overcook, as the beef can become tough.
3. Warm the Tortillas: While the beef is cooking, warm the tortillas according to package directions. You can heat them in a dry skillet, over a gas flame, or in the microwave.
4. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with the cooked Korean BBQ beef. Top with kimchi, shredded carrots, cilantro, and any optional toppings you desire.
5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately and let the flavor party begin!
