Cooking Steps
ā¢ Finely chop garlic. ā¢ In a medium bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce and honey. ā¢ Add beef strips, toss to coat and set aside. ā¢ Meanwhile, thinly slice red onion (see ingredients). ā¢ In a small bowl, combine vinegar, the salt and sugar. ā¢ Scrunch onion in your hands, then add to the pickling liquid. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ Grate carrot. ā¢ Shred cos lettuce (see ingredients). ā¢ Thinly slice long red chilli (if using). In a second medium bowl, combine carrot, lettuce and chilli. ā¢ Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Set aside.
ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. ā¢ When the oil is hot, cook beef strips, in batches, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 1-2 minutes. ā¢ 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.
ā¢ Drain the pickled onion. Take everything to the table to serve. ā¢ Top the tortillas with the salad, Korean beef and quick pickled onion. ā¢ Top with mayonnaise and sprinkle with crispy shallots.
