Taco Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Beef

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sugar. Add the beef sirloin, cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Slaw

    In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pickle the Onions

    Thinly slice the red onion and soak in rice vinegar with a pinch of salt and sugar for at least 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Grill the Beef

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Let it rest before slicing.

  5. 5

    Caramelize the Tortillas

    In a dry skillet, toast the corn tortillas over medium heat until lightly charred and pliable.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Tacos

    On each tortilla, layer sliced beef, savory Asian slaw, and pickled red onions. Serve immediately.
