Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound beef sirloin, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 8-10 large lettuce leaves, such as butter lettuce or romaine

For the Tangy Kimchi Slaw:

• 1 cup cabbage kimchi, chopped
• 1 carrot, julienned
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds to make the marinade.

Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade and toss until well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor.

In the meantime, prepare the Tangy Kimchi Slaw. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, julienned carrot, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef slices, reserving any excess marinade, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet while cooking to glaze the beef.

Once cooked, remove the beef from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes.

To serve, take a lettuce leaf and spoon some of the cooked beef onto it. Top with a generous amount of Tangy Kimchi Slaw. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.

Roll up the lettuce leaves to create wraps and secure with toothpicks if needed.

Enjoy these Korean Bulgogi Beef Lettuce Wraps with Tangy Kimchi Slaw for a flavorful and satisfying meal. The tender marinated beef combined with the crunchy and tangy kimchi slaw makes for a delightful taste experience. Serve as a main course or as part of a shared meal, and enjoy the vibrant flavors of Korea!
