Instructions

  1. For the Spicy Korean Beef: In a small bowl combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, ginger, oyster sauce, sesame seeds, and sriracha. Whisk together. Slice the meat into thin strips, make sure to slice against the grain if using a flank steak. Put the meat into the marinade and marinate at least an hour over overnight.
  2. To cook the meat, heat a skillet over high heat. Pour the meat and marinade into the hot pan and cook, stirring as it cooks, until the meat is cooked through (about 5 minutes).
  3. To make the Sesame Slaw: Whisk the vinegar, honey, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, sesame oil, and vegetable oil together in a small bowl to make the dressing.
  4. Place the cabbage and carrot in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. For the Sriracha Sour Cream: Mix the sour cream and Sriracha together in a small bowl.
  6. To serve, place the spicy korean beef on a small tortilla (flour or corn), top with the sesame slaw and Sriracha sour cream. Enjoy!
