Ingredients
- • Beef short ribs: 1.5 pounds, cut into bite-sized pieces
- • Soy sauce: 1/4 cup
- • Brown sugar: 2 tablespoons
- • Sesame oil: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
- • Ginger: 1 tablespoon, grated
- • Gochujang (Korean chili paste): 2 tablespoons
- • Rice vinegar: 1 tablespoon
- • Tortillas: 8 small, corn or flour
- • Cabbage: 1 cup, thinly sliced
- • Carrots: 1/2 cup, julienned
- • Green onions: 2, thinly sliced
- • Mayonnaise: 1/2 cup
- • Lime juice: 2 tablespoons
- • Cilantro: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • Salt: to taste
- • Black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- 2 In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon of gochujang. Add the beef short ribs, tossing to coat well. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- 3 While the beef marinates, prepare the slaw by mixing cabbage, carrots, green onions, and cilantro in a bowl. Drizzle with lime juice and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine and set aside.
- 4 In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with the remaining gochujang and a pinch of salt. Adjust the spice level to your liking. Set aside for drizzling.
- 5 Arrange the marinated beef short ribs in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and caramelized.
- 6 Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave. Assemble the tacos by placing a few pieces of beef short rib onto each tortilla, topping with a generous heap of slaw, and drizzling with gochujang mayo.
- 7 Serve immediately, garnished with extra cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Serving Suggestions
- • These Air Fryer Korean BBQ Beef Short Rib Tacos pair beautifully with a side of tangy pickled jalapeños or a refreshing cucumber salad. For a complete feast, serve with a light, citrusy cocktail like a ginger-lime margarita or a cold, crisp lager to balance the rich, spicy flavors. The tacos are perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a festive taco night.
Storage Tips
Store leftover beef and slaw in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the beef in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to retain its crispiness. Refresh the tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave before assembling leftover tacos.
