How To Make Korean BBQ Tacos from Scratch - DIY

How To Make Korean BBQ Tacos from Scratch - DIY


Introduction

Korean BBQ tacos are basically tacos with a Korean twist. Imagine your favorite taco fillings, but instead of seasoned ground beef or shredded chicken, you get savory, marinated Korean BBQ meats.  


These meats are usually thinly sliced and marinated beef) or spicy pork.


On top of the meat, you might find some classic taco toppings like shredded cabbage, cilantro, and onions. But in the spirit of Korean BBQ, you might also get kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage), pickled vegetables, or a gochujang (Korean chili paste) sauce for an extra kick. 

Deliciously Yummy Korean BBQ Tacos Recipe

Note: These Korean BBQ tacos are ridiculously flavorful and may cause excessive happiness and cravings!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound beef ( ribeye or sirloin), sliced into thin strips (aka the star of the show)
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - the secret sauce that'll make you go "Wow, this is insane!"
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (because everything is better with soy sauce, right?)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (to balance out the spice and make it all nice)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (the magic that brings it all together)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (to keep things smooth and silky)
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced (because who doesn't love a good cry fest while chopping onions?)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (vampire repellent and flavor booster all in one)
  • 1 cup kimchi slaw (store-bought or homemade - we won't judge)
  • 8-10 corn tortillas (the foundation of this tasty taco tower)
  • Cilantro, chopped (optional, but trust us, it adds a nice pop of freshness)
  • Lime wedges (optional, but who doesn't love a good squeeze of citrus?)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and vegetable oil. Add the sliced beef and marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator (aka the perfect excuse to binge-watch your favorite show).
  2. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off (because nobody likes a soggy taco). Grill the beef for 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked to desired doneness (aka the perfect level of char).
  3. Meanwhile, grill the sliced onion and minced garlic until slightly charred (because everything is better with a little bit of burnt flavor).
  4. Warm the tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20-30 seconds (the ultimate taco hack).
  5. Assemble the tacos by placing a few slices of the grilled beef onto a tortilla, followed by a spoonful of kimchi slaw, some grilled onion and garlic, and a sprinkle of cilantro (if you're feeling extra fancy). Serve with lime wedges (if you're feeling extra sassy).

Enjoy your deliciously yummy Korean BBQ Tacos!
