Ingredients

  • Thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin), about 1 1/2 pounds
  • Soy sauce, 1/4 cup
  • Brown sugar or honey, 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil, 1 tablespoon
  • Minced garlic, 3 cloves
  • Grated ginger, 1 tablespoon
  • Rice vinegar or lime juice, 1 tablespoon
  • Black pepper, 1 teaspoon
  • Vegetable oil for cooking
  • Green onions, sliced (2 stalks)
  • Small flour or corn tortillas (8–10)
  • Shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix, 1–2 cups
  • Mayonnaise, 1/4 cup
  • Gochujang or sriracha, 1–2 tablespoons
  • Lime juice for sauce, 1 teaspoon
  • Lime wedges for serving
Optional Ingredients
  • sesame seeds, kimchi, pickled carrots

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar or lime juice, black pepper, and sliced green onions.
  2. Add the thinly sliced beef and coat it fully in the marinade. Marinate at least 30 minutes in the fridge (up to 8 hours for stronger flavor).
  3. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with gochujang or sriracha and a little lime juice. Set aside.
  4. Heat a large pan or skillet over high heat with a little oil.
  5. Cook the marinated beef in small batches so it sears instead of steaming. Let it brown and caramelize on the edges. Remove from heat when cooked through.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry pan or directly over a low flame until soft and lightly charred.
  7. Assemble tacos: add beef, then shredded cabbage, then drizzle with chili mayo.
  8. Garnish with extra green onions, sesame seeds, or kimchi if using.
  9. Serve with lime wedges.
