Bulgogi-Inspired Beef Tacos
Cook 15 mins
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha, plus more for serving (optional)
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
  • 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
  • 8 6-in. flour tortillas, warmed

.50 cup kimchi, drained and chopped

  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 small Persian cucumber, thinly sliced (about 3/4 cup)

Directions

  1. Whisk sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, sriracha, and 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl.
  2. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high. Add beef; cook, breaking up into small pieces, until browned but not quite cooked through, about 3 minutes. Add soy sauce mixture; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened and glazy, 3 to 4 minutes. Spoon beef evenly onto warmed tortillas. Top with kimchi, sesame seeds, cucumber, and, if desired, a drizzle of sriracha.
