Equipment
- Large skillet.
- Small mixing bowl.
- Whisk
- Chef’s Knife
- Cutting board
- Measuring spoons
- Small Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 lb GROUND BEEF
- 1/4 cup SOY SAUCE
- 1/4 cup BROWN SUGAR
- 1 tbsp SESAME OIL
- 1 tbsp FRESH GINGER
- 3 cloves GARLIC
- 1/2 tsp RED PEPPER FLAKES
- 12 small TORTILLAS
- 2 cups COLESLAW MIX
- 1/4 cup GREEN ONIONS
- 1 tsp SESAME SEEDS
Instructions
- Place the large skillet on the stove. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add the ground beef to the hot pan.
- Cook the beef until it is brown. Break it into small pieces with a spoon. Drain the excess fat from the skillet carefully.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the beef. Stir them for about one minute. You will smell the amazing aroma quickly.
- Whisk the soy sauce and brown sugar together. Add the sesame oil and red pepper flakes. Pour this sauce over the cooked beef.
- Let the beef simmer in the sauce. Do this for two or three minutes. The sauce will become thick and shiny.
- Warm your tortillas in a separate pan. This makes them soft and very easy to fold. Do not let them get too crispy.
- Scoop the beef into the warm tortillas. Top them with fresh coleslaw and green onions. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top now.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to avoid too much grease.
- Grate fresh ginger for the very best flavor results.
- Do not overcook the garlic or it turns bitter.
- Warm the tortillas right before you serve the meal.
- Add a squeeze of lime for extra bright acid.
- Double the sauce if you like extra juicy tacos.
- Use a cast iron skillet for better meat browning.
- Top with spicy mayo for a creamy flavor kick.
