Servings: 4

Ingredients

Flank steak: 1 lb, thinly sliced
Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
Ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
Brown sugar: 1 tablespoon
Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
Corn tortillas: 8, small
Cucumber: 1, thinly sliced
Kimchi: 1 cup
Green onions: 2, chopped
Sesame seeds: 1 tablespoon
Spicy mayo: 1/2 cup

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and rice vinegar to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the thinly sliced flank steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor.
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
Cook the marinated steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
While the steak is resting, warm the corn tortillas on the grill or in a skillet for a few seconds on each side until they are pliable.
To assemble the tacos, place a few slices of the grilled steak on each tortilla.
Top the steak with a generous spoonful of kimchi, followed by sliced cucumber, chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Drizzle with spicy mayo to finish off the tacos, and serve warm.
