Time 4h8m

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 Tbsp sesame oil
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 Tbsp fresh ginger (grated (optional but nice))
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar (press it into the cup)
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 cup hot water
1 1/2 lb flank steak
12 to 14 Small (6-inch flour tortillas (use corn tortillas for gluten free))
1 small Purple Cabbage
1/3 bunch cilantro leaves
1 avocado (sliced)
1/3 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Sriracha hot sauce
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice ((plus lime wedges to serve if desired))

Steps:

  • Thinly slice beef against the grain and place in medium bowl.
  • Stir together all marinade ingredients until sugar dissolves, pour over sliced meat and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight for best results. Tip: Let beef stay at room temp 30 min before cooking. Chilled meat will cool a hot pan and make your meat juice out.
  • Heat a large, heavy non-stick pan on high heat (no need to add extra oil). It's hot enough when a piece of meat placed in the center has a strong sizzle. Add meat and sauté without stirring for 2-3 min or until lightly browned then stir and continue cooking additional 3-5 min, stirring occasionally or until fully cooked, liquid has evaporated and the sauce has caramelized on the beef.
  • Toast tortillas on a hot dry skillet or directly on the grates of your gas stove-top, turning frequently - they cook really fast so don't walk away.
  • Stir together all taco sauce ingredients. For easier drizzling, transfer to a ziploc bag and snip off the corner.
  • To assemble tacos, place meat over toasted tortillas and cover with generous amount of purple cabbage. Add sprigs of cilantro, diced avocado and drizzle generously with taco sauce. If desired, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra freshness.

KOREAN-STYLE BULGOGI BEEF TACOS



Korean-Style Bulgogi Beef Tacos image

My husband and son share an insatiable appetite for Korean barbeque--and an equally strong dislike of the lettuce leaves traditionally used to wrap the beef. One night, inspired by Korean food trucks, we decided to experiment with our own version, wrapping marinated Korean bulgogi in hot corn tortillas--they were an instant hit, filled with crisp, spicy sweet cucumber, creamy avocado, crunchy scallion, and a punch of gochujang, a Korean hot pepper paste.

Time 1h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 pounds rib-eye steaks
½ yellow onion, cut into chunks
½ Asian pear, peeled and coarsely chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 (1/2 inch) piece ginger root, peeled
¼ cup sake
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), or to taste
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon salt
5 small cucumbers, cut into 1/8-inch slices
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
12 (6 inch) white corn tortillas
1 avocado, thinly sliced
5 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), or to taste

Steps:

  • Trim excess fat from beef and slice very thinly across the grain. Transfer beef to a container.
  • Place onion, pear, garlic, ginger, and sake in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Pulse until marinade is well mixed.
  • Pour marinade over beef. Gently massage beef for a minute or two. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Mix vinegar, sugar, garlic, gochugaru, sesame oil, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cucumbers and green onions and mix gently by hand. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove beef from refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking.
  • Heat canola oil in a cast iron pan over high heat. Cook beef in batches, one layer at a time, stirring until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding beef, or it will end up steaming instead of browning. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Heat tortillas in another skillet, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and cover to keep warm. Serve beef bulgogi with the tortillas, cucumber salad, and avocado, green onions, and cilantro as garnishes. Drizzle gochujang over tacos, mixing it with a little water if too thick.

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI TACOS WITH KIMCHEE SLAW



Korean Beef Bulgogi Tacos with Kimchee Slaw image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Canola oil, for frying
12 round wonton wrappers
1 cup fine julienne scallions
1/2 cup brown rice vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Korean chile flakes
2 tablespoons sesame oil
12 cloves garlic
3 onions, cut into chunks
1 1/2 cups soy sauce
1 cup red wine
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 pinches black pepper
2 Korean pears or Gala apples, cored and cut into chunks
1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cubed
1 pound beef rib eye, sliced thinly
1 Korean pear or Gala apple
1 cup prepared kimchee, drained well and minced

Steps:

  • For the taco shells: Pour enough canola oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer for the wonton wrappers to be submerged completely when frying. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
  • Using a taco shell mold, fry the wonton wrappers in the oil until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool fully before using.
  • For the scallion slaw: Rinse the scallions thoroughly with cold water. Prepare a bowl of ice water, add the scallions and soak for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
  • Combine the scallions, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, chile flakes and sesame oil and let marinate for 20 minutes.
  • For the bulgogi marinade: Add the garlic and onions to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Add the soy sauce, red wine, sesame oil, black pepper, pears, pineapple cubes and 1 1/2 cups water and process until thoroughly combined.
  • Add the rib eye to a bowl, pour over the bulgogi marinade and allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Add the beef to the pan and cook until well done, about 5 minutes. (This is very important to allow the flavors of the marinade to develop completely.)
  • Peel the pear and slice it into thin half-moons. Place a layer of the kimchee and then the beef into each taco shell. Garnish with the scallion slaw and sliced pears.

KOREAN BULGOGI TACO RECIPE



Korean Bulgogi Taco Recipe image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h35m

Yield 12 to 15 tacos

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 pounds beef short ribs, off the bone
1 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup mirin
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup sesame oil
6 cloves garlic
6 scallions
2 teaspoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
3 cups roughly chopped Napa cabbage
1 cup matchstick-size daikon slices
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
6 scallions, diced
2 limes, juiced
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons Sriracha
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Twelve to fifteen 6-inch yellow corn tortillas or flour tortillas
Sriracha, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut off any excess fat from the short ribs then thinly slice the beef and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl or in a plastic resealable bag.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, scallions and ginger. Pour half of the sauce over the short ribs, ensuring all the beef is covered. Seal tightly and marinate the short ribs in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Place the other half of the marinade in a pan and reduce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick. Place in a serving bowl and reserve to drizzle on the tacos.
  • For the slaw: Place the cabbage, daikon, cilantro and scallions together in a medium to large bowl.
  • For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, mirin and Sriracha. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Place the dressing in the fridge until ready to use.
  • For the taco assembly: Heat your griddle to high. Flash cook the meat while simultaneously caramelizing the marinade. Place your short ribs on the griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and flip. Cook an additional 3 minutes, then wrap the meat in foil and set aside.
  • Grill up your tortillas. Flip after 45 seconds. Grill for another 45 seconds and remove.
  • On the grilled tortillas, pile some Korean slaw, dressing, beef, reserved and reduced marinade and extra Sriracha to taste. Then, chow down.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your tacos. Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables and tender, well-marbled beef.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef for at least 30 minutes will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and green onions is a good place to start.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the beef while keeping the inside tender and juicy. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the beef in a hot skillet or on a griddle.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The beauty of tacos is that you can customize them to your own liking. Some popular toppings include shredded cabbage, diced tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, and salsa. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them as soon as they are cooked. You can keep the tacos warm by placing them in a tortilla warmer or by wrapping them in aluminum foil.

Conclusion:

Korean bulgogi and mushroom tacos are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They are packed with flavor and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting taco recipe, give these Korean bulgogi and mushroom tacos a try.
