This Korean-style BBQ burrito is a fun fusion of foods that delivers fantastic flavor in an easy to eat way.
This recipe packs in tender strips of beef, marinated in a mix of soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and gochujgng (Korean chili paste). Together they give a sweet, smoky, and spicy taste that’s hard to forget.
Along with the beef, the burrito includes rice, kimchi, veggies, and sesame seeds. These are all optional, as some may not like the taste of kimchi in particular.
For anyone looking for a filling and flavorful dish, this burrito is perfect. Check out the ingredients and cooking steps below.
Korean BBQ Burrito Ingredients
- 1 lb of beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon of gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup of cooked rice
- 1 cup of kimchi
- 1/2 cup of shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup of sliced cucumber
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- Salt to taste
Korean BBQ Burrito Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and gochujang until smooth and well combined.
- Add the sliced beef to the bowl and toss until every piece is coated in the marinade.
- Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. For even more flavor, you can marinate it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once the pan is hot, cook the beef in batches for 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and lightly caramelized around the edges.
- Transfer the cooked beef to a plate and set aside.
- Warm the flour tortillas so they are easier to fold. You can heat them in a dry skillet over low heat or wrap them in damp paper towels and microwave them for 20 seconds.
- Lay one warm tortilla flat on a clean surface and spoon 1/4 cup of cooked rice into the center.
- Top the rice with one portion of the cooked beef, 1/4 cup of chopped kimchi, a handful of shredded carrots, and a few cucumber slices. Finish with green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- For a crisp finish, heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place each burrito seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes, until golden and lightly crispy.
- Serve right away while warm.
