Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef (flank steak or short ribs work well)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 8 small tortillas
- Optional toppings: kimchi, sriracha, sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the beef to the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
- Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the beef from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill or in a pan for about 1 minute.
- Assemble the tacos by placing the sliced beef in the tortillas, then garnish with chopped green onions, cilantro, and any additional toppings like kimchi, sriracha, or sesame seeds.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the marinating time for a stronger flavor, but 30 minutes is enough to infuse the beef with the marinade.
- For a smokier flavor, grill the beef on a charcoal grill.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, top the tacos with extra sriracha or add a dash of chili flakes to the marinade.
