Foodie Friday: Recipe for Korean Steak and Taqueria Steak Tacos

So this past Tuesday night, I made some tacos...some real.good.tacos.  Figured I'd share the recipe here. 

Korean Steak Tacos

Marinade

3/4 cup soy sauce

3/4 cup water

3 tablespoons white vinegar

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 cup minced garlic 

1/2 white onioin minced

3 lbs of short ribs or Korean cut ribs.  Both will work...you can use this recipe with rib eye.   If you buy short ribs or rib eye, make sure you cut it to the thickness of an actual rib, so the flavors soak into the meat.  

Here is the easy part.  Just combine all that crap above in a non reactive bowl, throw the meat in and then marinate for at least 8 hours. 

God's Recipe

Forgive me up front for this being cornier than a knock knock joke from a Christian radio DJ.  But, I had to give this perspective of God and desire for our joy, not our demise.  


I have been reading a couple of books.  One is "A Meal with Jesus" by Tim Chester and the other being "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain.  Both are a really good read and the first one will give anyone insight to why I believe meals and food are to be central in my life as I desire to bless my community.  


Anyways.  


Yesterday I was following a couple of recipes to make Korean steak tacos and also just some regular marinated steak Mexican tacos.  This got me thinking. 


Never once did I think, "Man...this person who gave me this recipe is a jerk for making me follow all these rules of the recipe.  Why can't I add peanut butter and popcorn seeds to this recipe?"
