Ingredients

Scale

For the Bulgogi Beef:

  • 1 lb thinly sliced beef (ribeye or sirloin)

  • ¼ cup soy sauce (tamari for GF option)

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar (or honey/maple syrup)

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tsp rice vinegar (or lime/apple cider vinegar)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Kimchi Slaw:

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage (green, purple, or mixed)

  • ¼ cup chopped kimchi

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

  • Pinch of sugar

For the Gochujang Mayo & Assembly:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (Kewpie if available)

  • 1 tbsp gochujang (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp lime juice

  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-sized)

  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced

  • Sesame seeds (optional)


Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef:
    Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Toss beef in marinade and refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.

  2. Sear the Beef:
    Heat a skillet or wok over high heat with a tiny drizzle of neutral oil. Cook beef in a single layer, 1–2 minutes per side until caramelized. Work in batches. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Make Kimchi Slaw:
    Toss cabbage and kimchi. Whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, and sugar, then pour over slaw. Mix well and adjust tang with kimchi brine if desired.

  4. Whip Gochujang Mayo:
    Mix mayonnaise, gochujang, and lime juice until smooth. Taste and adjust spice or brightness.

  5. Warm Tortillas:
    Heat tortillas 20 seconds per side in a dry skillet or 30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel in the microwave.

  6. Assemble & Roll:

    • Spread gochujang mayo down the center.

    • Add bulgogi beef, then kimchi slaw.

    • Sprinkle scallions on top.

    • Fold sides in, then roll from the bottom to form a secure wrap.

  7. Serve:
    Slice diagonally for a beautiful cross-section. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Tender Beef: Slice thinly against the grain and use a hot pan for a proper sear.

  • Avoid Soggy Wraps: Keep components separate until ready to assemble.

  • Wrap Security: Warm tortillas + moderate filling = perfect roll.
