Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 8 small flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 cup sliced cucumbers
• 1/2 cup sliced green onions
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Marinating the Beef:

In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, gochujang, and rice vinegar. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the marinade is well combined.

Add the sliced beef to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.

Cooking the Beef:

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and add it to the hot pan.

Cook the beef for 2-3 minutes per side, or until it is browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the beef from the pan and set it aside to rest for a few minutes.

Assembling the Tacos:

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave until they are pliable.

Divide the cooked beef evenly among the tortillas. Top each taco with shredded lettuce, sliced cucumbers, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Serving:

Drizzle the tacos with additional gochujang or your favorite hot sauce, if desired. Serve the Korean Beef BBQ Tacos immediately and enjoy!
