Servings: 4

Ingredients

Sesame seeds
1 tablespoon
Fresh Cilantro
1/2 cup, chopped
Green onions
2, chopped
Cucumber
1, sliced
Kimchi
1 cup
Corn tortillas
8
Lime juice
2 tablespoons
Brown sugar
2 tablespoons
Fresh Ginger
1 tablespoon, grated
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Sesame oil
2 tablespoons
Soy sauce
1/2 cup
Flank steak
1 lb

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, and lime juice to create the marinade.
  2. Cut the flank steak into thin strips, then place them in a ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. For optimal flavor, let it marinate overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Grill the steak strips for 2-3 minutes per side until they reach your desired level of doneness.
  4. After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain into thin pieces.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or on a grill until they become soft and pliable. This usually takes about a minute per side.
  6. Assemble your tacos by layering a few slices of steak on each tortilla. Add kimchi, cucumber slices, chopped green onions, and cilantro. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for the finishing touch.
  7. Serve these vibrant Korean beef tacos with additional lime wedges and your favorite hot sauce. Enjoy the burst of flavors in each bite!
