Korean Fusion Beef Tacos - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 1/2 lbs free range ground beef
3/4 cup tamari or 3/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon roasted red chili paste, to taste (or 1 tablespoons Korean kochujang sauce)
2 tablespoons fresh garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, to taste (my addition)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup sesame oil (I used regular sesame oil and a small amount of toasted sesame oil-about 1 teaspoon)
1 small yellow onion, finely minced
1/2 cup rice vinegar
24 (4 inch) corn tortillas
Accompaniments
3 cups green cabbage (cabbage finely shredded) or 1 cup cabbage kimchi (we tested the tacos with green cabbage)
1/2 cup cilantro leaf (fresh!)
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (approximately-the recipe didn't specify how much) or 1 tablespoon white sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon black sesame (approximately-the recipe didn't specify how much)
2 limes, cut into eighths
Sour Cream Sauce
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons lime juice

Preparation

Note: original recipe specified 3 tablespoons Korean kochujang sauce. I used sambal oelek sauce which is always on hand in the refrigerator. Also, the original recipe specified tri-tip beef or other similar cuts of meat (chuck, flank sirloin, etc). I made it much easier for myself and used ground beef.
Sour Cream Sauce: Whisk together the sour cream and lime juice, cover and refrigerate.
Marinade: Whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, garlic, ginger, sugar, sesame oils (s), onion and rice vinegar. Set aside 1/4 of the sauce in a small serving bowl.
In a 'ziploc'-style plastic bag combine the beef and the remaining 3/4 of the marinade.
Close bag and marinate mixture in the refrigerator for 3 hours .
Remove meat from the marinade. *Discard* liquid.
Heat up a large saute pan and brown the meat until no longer pink.
Accompaniments: Arrange the cabbage, cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds and lime slices on a platter.
Tortillas: If desired, lightly butter or oil the tortillas and grill. We used our stove top grill pan.
To serve, spoon the cooked meat into the tortillas. Garnish with the accompaniments. Spoon a little sour cream sauce on top. I placed all the fixings on platters and in bowls and created a \"build-your-own\" taco bar.
Enjoy!
