Korean Bulgogi Bbq Beef Tacos

Korean Bulgogi Bbq Beef Tacos

Whattd’you have for Sunday night dinner? Because we had these. Bbq Beef Tacos — the Korean way — with a Kale slaw so good it’ll knock your socks off — with a side of Pico De Gallo.

It was one of those celebratory dinners…one of those experimental things that works and you want to kiss yourself.

Pico De Gallo…how I love thou.

This was incredible. Juicy, sweet and soy’d up Korean beef strips wedged into the most perfect flour tortillas I could find…with a crisp and fresh Kale ‘Slaw and creamy greek yogurt (or sour crew,)…one of the best flavour combinations I’ve had in a long time.

Because who doesn’t love sizzling steak, anyway?

And I never would have thought to use Kale…except they were on sale which got my brains to thinking…

So….causally strolling over to the fresh produce section…I found a bag of Kale Slaw in the fridge. I think God was on my side for this one. But I have included it into the recipe anyway, in case you can’t find the same in your country. It’s ok. I got you.

The dressing on this Kale Slaw worked so unbelievably well with these Taco’s.

So good…that the Pico Del Gallo was kinda left on the side lines and dipped into occasionally for good measure.
