Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup kimchi, chopped
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and gochujang until combined.
- Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes. Tip: For more flavor, marinate the beef for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated beef in batches, cooking for about 3-5 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat or wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave for about 20-30 seconds. This makes them more pliable for wrapping.
- To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread 1/4 cup of the cooked rice onto the center of the tortilla.
- Top the rice with 1/4 of the cooked beef, 1/4 cup of chopped kimchi, a handful of shredded carrots, and a few slices of cucumber. Sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll the bottom up over the filling and continue rolling to form a burrito. Repeat for the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
- For a crispy finish, heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down on the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
