Ingredients

  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef ribeye
  • 2 cups Korean BBQ marinade (store
  • bought or homemade)
  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh cabbage, shredded

  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup Korean pickled radish (ssĂ€mjang)
  • 1 avocado, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, marinate the beef ribeye in Korean BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

  3. Warm up the tortillas directly on the grill for 15 seconds per side or in the microwave for 20 30 seconds.
  4. Assemble your Korean BBQ tacos by placing a layer of beef, onion, cabbage, carrot, green onions, and avocado slices in each tortilla. Top with a dollop of ssÀmjang and a squeeze of lime juice.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the sizzling fusion of flavors and textures that fill your senses with nostalgia and indulgence.
