🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First, marinate the beef: In a mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced ribeye steak with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, a pinch of black pepper, and gochujang. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better!
- Prepare the kimchi mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, gochugaru (Korean chili powder - adjust to your spice level; remember a little goes a long way!), a splash of rice vinegar, and a drizzle of sesame oil. Mix thoroughly and set aside. Feel free to add some chopped green onions for extra flavor.
- Cook the beef: Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil (vegetable or canola works fine). Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated beef in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan, cook in batches if necessary. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- Warm the tortillas: You can warm your corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet, over an open flame, or in the microwave. The goal is to make them pliable and slightly warm. Don't overdo it!
- Assemble the tacos: Lay out the warmed tortillas. Add a layer of the seared beef, followed by a generous spoonful of the kimchi mixture. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of sriracha mayo, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds. A squeeze of lime juice really brightens the flavors.
- Serve immediately: These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, while the beef is still warm and the kimchi is crisp. Get ready for a flavor explosion!
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of gochugaru to your spice preference. Start with less, you can always add more!
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef with marinated tofu or mushrooms.
- If you don't have gochujang, you can use a similar chili paste, but the flavor will be slightly different.
