Instructions
Step 1. Braise That Beef
Heat sesame oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Sear beef chunks until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, cook onion, garlic, and ginger for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in kimchi, Korean G Sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and stock. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Return beef, cover, and cook on low heat for 2½–3 hours until tender. Add stock or water if needed.
Step 2. Shred & Sauce
Shred the beef with two forks into the braising liquid. Stir to coat every strand with the rich, spicy goodness.
Step 3. Taco Time
Warm tortillas. Fill each with braised beef, fresh kimchi, shredded cabbage, avocado, sour cream, and coriander.
Step 4. Finish Strong
Serve with lime wedges and enjoy!
