Recipe Courtesy of  Minnie Luong

1.5 lb thinly sliced rib eye steak
12 corn tortillas
olive oil for brushing

Marinade:
¼ cup soy sauce
4 tsp sugar
3 cloves  garlic, minced
3 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces
¼ tsp black pepper
1 tsp sesame oil

Spicy Cabbage Slaw:
6 cups shredded cabbage
1 cup thinly sliced scallions
½ cup rough chopped cilantro
4 Tbsp Kochujang paste
2 Tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 Tbsp minced garlic
salt & pepper to taste

 

  1. Make the marinade soy sauce, sugar, garlic, scallions, black pepper, sesame oil in a mixing bowl.  Whisk until the sugar granules dissolve and set aside.
  2. Thinly slice the ribeye.  You can put it in the freezer, in plastic wrap, for 20 minutes to harden the steak to make it easier to slice.
  3. Add marinade to the sliced ribeye.  It’s best to marinade overnight, but you can also let it marinate for 1 hour at room temp.
  4. Mix kochujang paste, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds
  5. Toss shredded cabbage, scallions, cilantro with kochujang mixture
  6. Add salt & pepper to taste and set aside, allowing the flavors to marry.
  7. Brush a little bit of olive oil on tortilla and warm in a pan or the oven.
  8. Cook ribeye on high heat in an oiled grill pan.  Be sure to shake off any excess marinade from the meet before adding to the pan.  Flip once, cooking for a few minutes on each side, until there are grill marks.
  9. Assemble the tacos by adding ribeye to the tortillas and top off with the spicy Korean slaw.
