How to Make It

To Prepare the Short Ribs
- Cut off any excess fat from the short ribs, then thinly slice the beef. Cut the beef slices into 1½-inch pieces. Place in a ziplock bag.
- Place soy sauce, dark brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, scallions, and gingerroot in a blender. Process until smooth. Pour half the marinade over the short ribs in the ziplock bag. Close bag and refrigerate short ribs for 3 hours or up to 24 hours. Place remaining marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook it, stirring occasionally, until mixture has reduced and is thick. Place in a covered container and refrigerate until needed. To Make the Soy-Lime Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, mirin, and Sriracha. Slowly whisk in olive oil. Cover and refrigerate until needed. To Make the Slaw
- Toss cabbage, daikon, scallions, and cilantro together in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate until needed. To Cook
- Remove short ribs from marinade. Heat a griddle or large sauté pan on high heat. Place short ribs on griddle and cook for 2–3 minutes. Flip meat and cook an additional 3 minutes. Wrap meat in foil and set aside.
- Place tortillas on griddle for 45 seconds. Flip tortillas and cook for another 45 seconds, then remove tortillas to a plate. To Assemble Tacos
- Place a spoonful of slaw in the middle of each tortilla. Drizzle it with soy-lime dressing. Place a spoonful of short rib meat atop slaw. Drizzle with thickened marinade sauce and, for additional kick, extra Sriracha. Fold taco in half and serve immediately.
