Korean Steak Tacos Recipes

KOREAN STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Place all ingredients EXCEPT oil and water in a mini food processor and blitz together for 10-15 seconds
• Combine the 2 oils together and while blending gradually add the oil. The sauce should be quite thick at this point. Add the cold water slowly while still blending to thin it out to a pourable state.
• Add all the marinade ingredients together and place in a ziplock bag with steak. Allow to marinate for minimum 30 minutes but overnight is best
• Grill steak on BBQ @ 250c for 3 mins each side or until internal temp is 54c for medium-rare *see tips*
• Rest for 6-8 minutes before slicing thinly.
• While the steak is resting, slice the red cabbage finely, pick the coriander leaves and char the tortillas
• Place some cabbage on the base of tortilla, add a slice of steak, top with aioli and a sprinkle of coriander. Eat (quickly no doubt) and repeat!

KOREAN BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the brown sugar and garlic in a shallow dish. Add the steak and turn to coat. Let marinate at room temperature, 20 minutes.

• Meanwhile, toss the scallions with 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Grill, turning, until charred, about 4 minutes; transfer to the cutting board and cut into 1-inch pieces. Slice the steak against the grain; toss with any collected juices.
• Whisk the mayonnaise and gochujang in a small bowl. Toss the kimchi, pear and the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil in another bowl. Lightly char the tortillas over a gas burner, about 20 seconds per side (or microwave as the label directs).

• 2. Prepare an outdoor grill for medium-high cooking over direct heat.
• 3. Remove the steak from the marinade (discard the marinade) and grill, turning halfway through cooking, for a total of about 10 minutes, until the meat feels only slightly resilient when pressed with a fingertip for medium-rare. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
• 4. Meanwhile, prepare the tacos: In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, carrots, scallions, and cilantro together.
• 5. Heat the tortillas on the grill, turning occasionally, for about 1 minute, or until hot. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover to keep warm.
• 6. To serve: Cut the steak across the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Transfer the steak slices and any carving juices to a platter. Serve the steak with the reserved marinade, tortillas, cabbage mixture, and guacamole. Let each guest fill two tortillas with some steak and cabbage mixture and top with some of the marinade and guacamole.
