Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine beef sirloin, 1/3 cup soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 2: Preheat a grill or skillet to medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef in batches, searing for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and slightly charred. Set aside.
- Step 3: For the kimchi slaw, shred nappa cabbage and mix with kimchi, mayonnaise, and a pinch of salt. Toss until well combined and set aside.
- Step 4: For the sesame-glazed carrots, peel and julienne carrots. In a small saucepan, whisk together honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp sesame oil. Cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Toss the carrots in the sauce until coated and set aside.
- Step 5: Warm the tortillas, then fill each with beef, kimchi slaw, and sesame carrots. Garnish with extra sesame seeds and serve immediately.
