KOREAN-STYLE BULGOGI BEEF TACOS
My husband and son share an insatiable appetite for Korean barbeque--and an equally strong dislike of the lettuce leaves traditionally used to wrap the beef. One night, inspired by Korean food trucks, we decided to experiment with our own version, wrapping marinated Korean bulgogi in hot corn tortillas--they were an instant hit, filled with crisp, spicy sweet cucumber, creamy avocado, crunchy scallion, and a punch of gochujang, a Korean hot pepper paste.

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from beef and slice very thinly across the grain. Transfer beef to a container.
- Place onion, pear, garlic, ginger, and sake in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and black pepper. Pulse until marinade is well mixed.
- Pour marinade over beef. Gently massage beef for a minute or two. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Mix vinegar, sugar, garlic, gochugaru, sesame oil, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cucumbers and green onions and mix gently by hand. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove beef from refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking.
- Heat canola oil in a cast iron pan over high heat. Cook beef in batches, one layer at a time, stirring until nicely browned, about 3 minutes. Avoid overcrowding beef, or it will end up steaming instead of browning. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Heat tortillas in another skillet, about 1 minute. Transfer to a serving platter and cover to keep warm. Serve beef bulgogi with the tortillas, cucumber salad, and avocado, green onions, and cilantro as garnishes. Drizzle gochujang over tacos, mixing it with a little water if too thick.

KOREAN BULGOGI AND MUSHROOM TACOS
Bulgogi is one of the most iconic Korean dishes. The marinade not only tenderizes the meat but also imparts the perfect combination of sweet and savory to the flavor profile. The salad is super-easy to whip up and adds a lovely freshness and crunch to the tacos. Drizzle a bit of the gochujang sauce on top and experience the melodious harmony of sweet, salty, sour and umami flavors come to life!

Steps:
- For the tacos: Combine the soy sauce, garlic, sugar, sesame oil and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to make the marinade. Add the beef and mushrooms and marinate for at least 30 minutes. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring, until cooked through.
- For the salad: Combine the rice vinegar, sugar, fish sauce and garlic in a large bowl. Add the lettuce, green onions and red onion and toss everything together. Drizzle in the sesame oil and sprinkle in the sesame seeds. (As with many Korean dishes, you can easily adjust the recipe by adding more vinegar, sugar or salt to taste. Be sure to taste as you go!)
- For the gochujang sauce: Mix together the gochujang, sesame oil, sugar, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl,, adding more water for a thinner consistency if desired.
- For the taco assembly: Add the meat mixture to the tortillas and top with the salad. Drizzle as much or as little of the gochujang sauce as you desire. Enjoy!

KOREAN BEEF BULGOGI TACOS WITH KIMCHEE SLAW
Steps:
- For the taco shells: Pour enough canola oil in a heavy pot or deep fryer for the wonton wrappers to be submerged completely when frying. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F.
- Using a taco shell mold, fry the wonton wrappers in the oil until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and allow to cool fully before using.
- For the scallion slaw: Rinse the scallions thoroughly with cold water. Prepare a bowl of ice water, add the scallions and soak for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
- Combine the scallions, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, chile flakes and sesame oil and let marinate for 20 minutes.
- For the bulgogi marinade: Add the garlic and onions to a food processor and process until thoroughly combined. Add the soy sauce, red wine, sesame oil, black pepper, pears, pineapple cubes and 1 1/2 cups water and process until thoroughly combined.
- Add the rib eye to a bowl, pour over the bulgogi marinade and allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat until hot. Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Add the beef to the pan and cook until well done, about 5 minutes. (This is very important to allow the flavors of the marinade to develop completely.)
- Peel the pear and slice it into thin half-moons. Place a layer of the kimchee and then the beef into each taco shell. Garnish with the scallion slaw and sliced pears.

Steps:
- Trim excess fat from steak and slice very thinly across the grain.
- Put onion, pear, garlic, ginger and sake into a blender (or food processor). Blend until smooth and creamy. Then add soy sauce, dark brown sugar, sesame oil and black pepper. Pulse until well mixed.
- Pour marinade over beef. Gently massage the beef with the marinade for a minute or two. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Remove from refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking.
- Wash the cucumber and slice 1/8 inch thick. Wash the green onion and chop finely.
- In a large bowl, mix the rest of the ingredients. Then add the cucumber and green onion and gently mix by hand. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Very thinly slice the scallions on a sharp diagonal, chop the cilantro and slice the avocado. Put each in a separate serving bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a cast-iron pan over high heat. Add the marinated bulgogi to the pan and cook the beef in batches, each in a single layer. Stir the beef until cooked through and nicely browned and caramelized (about 3 minutes). Be sure not to crowd the beef in the pan or it will end up steaming versus browning. Transfer to a serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Heat the tortillas on a hot skillet, turning occasionally, for about 1 minute, or until hot. Transfer to a serving platter and cover to keep warm.
- Serve the bulgogi with the tortillas, cucumber salad and garnishes. Let each guest make their own tacos by adding bulgogi to a tortilla and topping it with cucumber, scallions, avocado, cilantro and a drizzle of gochujang.

Steps:
- Cut off any excess fat from the short ribs then thinly slice the beef and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Place in a large bowl or in a plastic resealable bag.
- In a blender or food processor, blend the soy sauce, mirin, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, scallions and ginger. Pour half of the sauce over the short ribs, ensuring all the beef is covered. Seal tightly and marinate the short ribs in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Place the other half of the marinade in a pan and reduce over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick. Place in a serving bowl and reserve to drizzle on the tacos.
- For the slaw: Place the cabbage, daikon, cilantro and scallions together in a medium to large bowl.
- For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, soy sauce, mirin and Sriracha. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Place the dressing in the fridge until ready to use.
- For the taco assembly: Heat your griddle to high. Flash cook the meat while simultaneously caramelizing the marinade. Place your short ribs on the griddle. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes and flip. Cook an additional 3 minutes, then wrap the meat in foil and set aside.
- Grill up your tortillas. Flip after 45 seconds. Grill for another 45 seconds and remove.
- On the grilled tortillas, pile some Korean slaw, dressing, beef, reserved and reduced marinade and extra Sriracha to taste. Then, chow down.

- Stir together all marinade ingredients until sugar dissolves, pour over sliced meat and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight for best results. Tip: Let beef stay at room temp 30 min before cooking. Chilled meat will cool a hot pan and make your meat juice out.
- Heat a large, heavy non-stick pan on high heat (no need to add extra oil). It's hot enough when a piece of meat placed in the center has a strong sizzle. Add meat and sauté without stirring for 2-3 min or until lightly browned then stir and continue cooking additional 3-5 min, stirring occasionally or until fully cooked, liquid has evaporated and the sauce has caramelized on the beef.
- Toast tortillas on a hot dry skillet or directly on the grates of your gas stove-top, turning frequently - they cook really fast so don't walk away.
