Method
 

  1. Grilled, Marinated Flank Steak Tacos Recipe
  2. In a large casserole dish, add your gochujang, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk this all together and sprinkle in the scallions. Now, add in your flank steak and coat with the sauce by giving it a few flips. Let this marinade at least 2 hours before grilling. You could easily marinade this overnight.
  3. Grill over medium high heat for 3 minutes per side until medium rare or 4 minutes for medium. Take the steak off the grill and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  4. While the steak is resting, I like to just warm up the tortillas on the grill. This will just take just a minute or so. I like to just get a little color on each side.
  5. Pineapple Coleslaw Recipe
  6. This is such an easy and delicious recipe. Whisk together the mayonnaise, pineapple, rice wine vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt and pepper till combined.
  7. Now, add in your coleslaw and mix it all together.
  8. You can serve this right away, but I find it’s even better when it sits for a while. I like to make this at least a few hours ahead of when I want to serve it. Just cover and chill in the refrigerator.

Marinating & Timing

Plan at least 2 hours for the flank steak to marinate; marinating overnight is an option for more flavor.

Make-Ahead: Pineapple Coleslaw

Whisk the mayonnaise, crushed pineapple (juice and all), rice wine vinegar, sugar, celery seed, salt, and pepper, then toss with the bagged coleslaw. The coleslaw can be served right away, but it develops more flavor after sitting; make it at least a few hours ahead and keep covered in the refrigerator.

What “Bulgogi‑style” means

“Bulgogi” refers to thinly sliced, marinated beef that is typically cooked quickly over high heat and features a balance of salty, sweet, and aromatic flavors. The marinade elements used here—soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, plus gochujang and scallions—reflect that savory‑sweet profile with an added chili note from the gochujang.
