Today’s Culinary Creation: Spicy Korean BBQ Tacos

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest culinary concoction – Spicy Korean BBQ Tacos. This dish is perfect for a fun and flavorful weeknight dinner or a weekend get-together with friends. The fusion of Korean BBQ flavors with the handheld convenience of tacos is sure to be a crowd-pleaser!

For this recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • boneless beef short ribs (500g)
  • soy sauce (50ml)
  • rice vinegar (30ml)
  • brown sugar (50g)
  • garlic cloves, minced (3 cloves)
  • fresh ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
  • gochujang (Korean chili paste) (2 tbsp)
  • toasted sesame oil (1 tbsp)
  • small corn tortillas (8)
  • kimchi, for serving
  • green onions, chopped, for garnish

To prepare this dish, start by marinating the beef short ribs in a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, and sesame oil. Let the meat marinate for at least 1 hour to absorb all those delicious flavors.

Next, heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated beef short ribs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them thinly against the grain.

Warm the corn tortillas on the grill for a few seconds on each side until they are soft and pliable. Assemble your tacos by filling each tortilla with slices of grilled beef short ribs, a spoonful of kimchi, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.

Finally, serve your Spicy Korean BBQ Tacos hot and fresh, with extra kimchi on the side for those who like it extra spicy!

And there you have it – a mouthwatering fusion of Korean BBQ and Mexican street food. This dish weighs approximately 1200g cooked and serves 4 people, with each serving weighing around 300g. With the bold flavors of the marinade and the kick of the kimchi, each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little toasted sesame seeds over the tacos before serving for an extra pop of flavor and crunch. It adds a delightful finishing touch to the dish!

I hope you give these Spicy Korean BBQ Tacos a try and enjoy them as much as I do. Feel free to customize the toppings or spice level to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
