Cooking Steps

1
1

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce and honey. • Add beef strips, toss to coat and set aside. • Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). • In a small bowl, combine vinegar, the salt and sugar. • Scrunch onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. • Add just enough water to cover the onion and set aside until serving.

TIP: If you don't like pickled onion, skip this step and cook the onion in step 3 with the beef.

• Grate carrot. • Shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). • Thinly slice long red chilli (if using). In a second medium bowl, combine carrot, lettuce and chilli. • Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.

3

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. • When the oil is hot, cook beef strips, in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. • Microwave mini flour tortillas on a plate for 10 second bursts, until warmed through.

TIP: You can cook the sliced red onion with the beef if you prefer. Cooking the meat in batches over a high heat keeps it tender.

• Drain the pickled onion. Take everything to the table to serve. • Top the tortillas with the salad, Korean beef and quick pickled onion. • Top with mayonnaise and sprinkle with crispy shallots.
