Notes
Meal prep and make ahead: both Korean beef and the Asian slaw can be made in advance (up to 2 days) and kept in the fridge until ready to assemble tacos. You can use corn tortillas or crispy shells in place of flour tortillas. You can skip the taco idea and serve the beef with rice and the slaw on the side.
