My Korean Short Ribmexican Fusion Tacos Recipes

KOREAN BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, hot water, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until the honey dissolves.
• Put the steak slices in a large zip-top bag or airtight container and pour in the marinade. Toss around to combine, then seal. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak slices from the marinade with tongs and put them in the skillet (reserve the marinade); you should hear a strong sizzle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until lightly browned on one side, then stir the pieces around and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, pourin in the marinade, and let it caramelize for about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Assemble the tacos by placing several slices of steak on each tortilla. Add some shredded cabbage, cilantro, and avocado slices. Drizzle the dressing over the top and serve with lime wedges on the side.
• In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, Sriracha, and garlic powder and mix well. Taste and add more Sriracha as desired.
• Use immediately or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days.

KOREAN FUSION BEEF TACOS

Steps:

• Note: original recipe specified 3 tablespoons Korean kochujang sauce. I used sambal oelek sauce which is always on hand in the refrigerator. Also, the original recipe specified tri-tip beef or other similar cuts of meat (chuck, flank sirloin, etc). I made it much easier for myself and used ground beef.
• Sour Cream Sauce: Whisk together the sour cream and lime juice, cover and refrigerate.
• Marinade: Whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oils (s), onion and rice vinegar. Set aside 1/4 of the sauce in a small serving bowl.
• In a 'ziploc'-style plastic bag combine the beef and the remaining 3/4 of the marinade.
• Close bag and marinate mixture in the refrigerator for 3 hours .
• Remove meat from the marinade. *Discard* liquid.
• Heat up a large sautè pan and brown the meat until no longer pink.
• Accompaniments: Arrange the cabbage, cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds and lime slices on a platter.
• Tortillas: If desired, lightly butter or oil the tortillas and grill. We used our stove top grill pan.
• To serve, spoon the cooked meat into the tortillas. Garnish with the accompaniments. Spoon a little sour cream sauce on top. I placed all the fixings on platters and in bowls and created a "build-your-own" taco bar.
• Enjoy!

KOREAN SHORT RIB TACOS

Steps:

• For the Braised Short Ribs: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Season the beef pieces with some salt and pepper. Dredge the beef lightly with the flour and shake off excess; set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown the short rib pieces on all sides, about 10 minutes. Use more butter and oil as needed to give a golden brown and delicious surface to each piece of beef.
• Melt another tablespoon of butter in the pan. Stir in the shallots, carrots, and celery. Cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine, scrape up the brown bits in the pan, and reduce the wine volume by half. Stir in the beef broth, bay leaves, parsley and thyme. Add beef broth up to half the height of the contents of the pot, do not submerge. Bring the pot to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid or aluminum foil, then transfer to the preheated oven until the short rib is very tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Once the short rib is tender, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Strip the meat with a fork, cover and keep warm for the assembly stage.
• For the Korean Taco Sauce: Whisk the soy sauce, sugar, gochujang and sesame oil together until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth. You can make this a few days in advance and store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
• To Assemble the Tacos: Heat some tortillas in a dry skillet. In the same pan, add the vegetable oil, then briefly saute the Brussels sprouts, chopped onions and some salt and pepper. Add some shredded short rib and Korean Taco Sauce. Do not overcook.
• Spoon some of the taco filling into each tortilla. Serve with the Korean Taco Sauce and a lime wedge.

KOREAN STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 1. To marinate the steak: In a large baking dish, whisk the cilantro, brown sugar, canola oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, jalapeños, black pepper, and coriander to blend well. Reserve 1/4 cup of the mixture in a small bowl for serving. Place the steak in the remaining marinade and turn to coat. Marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate the reserved marinade.
• 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.

CROCKPOT KOREAN SHORT RIB TACOS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• For the Korean short ribs: In a mini food processor, blend garlic and ginger until minced. Mix with soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Place short ribs in crockpot and pour sauce over ribs. Turn crock pot on low heat. Cover with a lid and cook for 6-8 hours. Remove meat from pot, discard bones. Place in the fridge to chill to touch. Meanwhile, skim fat off the top of the sauce. Place in a sauce pan and simmer until thickened. Once meat is cool to touch, pull apart with your fingers. Pour about 1/2 cup of the sauce back into the meat. You may serve the extra sauce on the side or discard it. For the cucumber slaw: Peel cucumber and chop into matchsticks. Peel carrot and shred. Mix carrot and cucumber with rice vinegar, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes. Serve meat on a warm tortilla topped with slaw and cilantro.
